In reply to Lithium Orotate for depression? Anyone using this, posted by BetweenDreams81 on September 18, 2010, at 5:05:10
Have you seen a psychiatrist yet? That is where I would start. If you want to go the alternative route, lithium orotate is very effective. I'm really not sure if it has much benefit over just taking lithium carbonate. I take 1 300 mg extended release lithium carbonate in the morning and one at night. I've been about to replace this treatment with Zyprexa, which is a bit of a nightmare of a drug IMO, though it can be very helpful during times of need. I also take Prozac, but that may change to Zoloft soon.
I think it might be worth a try to see if lithium orotate gives you what you need. I would go to Vitamin Research Products and buy their lithium orotate as it is a quality product, maybe the best out there. You might want to start at 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening. If this is not enough, go to 2 capsules in the morning and 2 in the evening.
Are you taking fish oil? Are you exercising regularly?
