Not sure I'd question it if it's making you feel so much better. :-)

Wonder what affect lithium has on cortisol if it's already low? I take cortisol supplement and recently added lithium (orotate, not the carbonate), and noticed a real (positive!) potentiation of my antidepressant's effects. Wondering what it will do to cortisol long term -- I'd rather not take cortisol (or Lexapro, for that matter) for the rest of my life.

I know Lithium is essential for nervous tissue regeneration. I wonder if that's a factor somehow? An "over stressed" nervous system would certainly be over-excitable. Wouldn't it? Dietary intake of lithium is (supposedly) adequate to cover nerve tissue regeneration for most people, but I'm allergic to the common sources so I don't get nearly as much as most folks do.
