So I have a bit of an anxiety problem, as well as an anger/mood problem. I get irritable really easily, I feel anxious and paranoid about my current relastionship, as well as other things. I'm always negative on myself (I have a low self esteem) I also am negative on music genres as well (Like rap) I've thrown things when i've been anger, as well as cussed and yelled at my parents. I have major anxiety, like I feel like people are watching me and judging me, and I am very anxious around alot of people.. My self esteem is very low too. I aslo can't consentrate well in school..If i'm in the middle of doing something and I get in to it, When i'm interupted I get really hostile and angry. I think I might have a bit of an anger problem, anxiety problem, and ADD problem. Does/or would taking Lithium Orotate help? Are their any side effects, like sexuel wise? (like risk of errectile dissfuntion, less sex drive?) And if I run out of this, will i be so depended on it and go through withdrawls?

Hello, The Madcap. Nice to meet you.
Actually, I don't think lithium is used for anger or anxiety issues. It's mostly used for people with bipolar disorder, but some doctor's my prescribe it for different things. I took it for a while and it wasn't a positive experience for me but everyone reacts differently. It left me feeling over medicated and lethargic. The best way to find out if it would help you is to ask a doctor. A doctor is the only one that can tell if it is the right med for you and would also know the side effects.

As far as I can see lithium orotate is sold as an over-the-counter "nutritional supplement" by evidence-free alternative/complementary medicine people.
It is not approved by the FDA (the contrast is with lithium carbonate, which is approved for management of Bipolar Disorder). The potential dangers of self-medication with lithium orotate are discussed here: Possible dangers of a “nutritional supplement” lithium orotate — __________________ The world is everything that is the case.

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