Does anyone have good expierence with Lithium Orotate?
I have heard some good stuff about it. I am thinking about taking it for my PDD-nos, Adhd and depression issues. I tend to swing around a lot and get upset over things well that probably arent worth getting upset over. I feel very out of control and am hoping it will help. I have been on stimulants and reacted badly. My doctor told me If i wanted to try a SSRI he would prescribe it but I had to make the choice. I myself and am very skeptical of most medications and am very sensitive to them (I cant take child size amount of zyrtec without it making me start to doze off while driving). I see an applied kinesiologist back home but havent really been able to dive into the mental clarity issues (due to family involvement) and hes about 18 hours from here. Anybody else take it? happy with it? |

In 2010 I had a manic episode (I'm bipolar) and I had finally decided that I needed to stay on meds for good. I was on lithium and intended to stay on it. I was having some stomach issues and my pdoc asked if I wanted to try lithium oratate, so I made the switch. Within weeks I was manic and back in the hospital.
I've since gone back to lithium carbonate and I have been stable since 2011. I don't know if lithium oratate has any useful applications or not. I do know I would NOT recommend it as a substitute for the real thing for those who need it. Your situation is different and I don't think the OTC supplement is harmful. Can't attest to whether it would be helpful. |

I tried lithium orotate once and felt great. I felt energetic, not anxious, could think clearly and felt positive about myself and my abilities. The second time I took it, I was really tired and could hardly move. The third time I took it was even worse. So, I gave up on it. Wish it had worked better.

"was tired and couldn't move how?" What dosage? what vender? Was it different from the first time? I've been experimenting with this stuff for a few months now, high doses, (9mg/kg/day) are no good. I washed out and restarted at 60mg/day, things were going fine the first three weeks, now I have daily migraines with auras. It may be another drug, I'm here trying to find out more about the common side effects, in relation to dosage. How much do most people take and for how long? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
