Anti-Suicidal Effects of Lithium Orotate Psychiatrist Recommended


Psychology Today - I know lithium orotate: Emily Deans, M.D. 1/30/12 The high doses of lithium carbonate can be necessary to control bipolar disorder, and these can certainly be toxicHowever, in my experience, much, much lower doses are helpful for an anti-suicide effect. (post#2) Kudos Dr. Deans! I couldnt agree more with Dr. Deans. My research of the published data and feed-back testimonials from lithium orotate users has revealed a significant anti-suicidal effect of lithium begins at or below 1 mg of pure elemental lithium per day, so why is the VA prescribing 150 mg of pure lithium (Li) to veterans? (Mark Millar, D.C. 2012) Not only do the extremely low dosages of lithium supplementation (described in this document) prevent suicide; doses one thousand times less than Pharma-Li dosing of depression have been demonstrated (in the following ground-water/drinking-water studies) to significantly reduce suicide rates in the general population by 3050%.(1-3) (Li water content 100 micrograms of elemental lithium [EL]) vs (100 milligrams EL) of Pharma-Li dosing patients with major depression. (Schrauzer and Shrestha 1990)(1) Note: 100 micrograms = 1/10th of one milligram vs. 100 milligrams of Pharma-Li A total of three lithium-water-suicide prevention studies have been conducted and published in Texas,(1) Japan,(2) and Austria.(3) Study: Lithium in drinking water and the incidences of crimes, suicides, and arrests related to drug addictions. (Schrauzer and Shrestha 1990)(1) Study: Lithium levels in drinking water and risk of suicide. (Ohgami et. al., 2009)(2) Study: Lithium in drinking water and suicide mortality. (Kapusta et. al., 2011)(3)

All three of these lithium drinking water studies found a similar trend of significant reductions of suicide in the general population.
The first published study was conducted in Texas and the researchers found that by analyzing 27 Texas counties, from 1978-1987, it was discovered that the incidence rates of suicide, homicide, rape, drug abuse and felonious acts of crime were about 50% lower in the 27 Texas counties with underground drinking water supplies containing minute amounts of lithium. The lithium water levels ranged from 70-170 micrograms/L. Additionally this study found a significantly reduced rate of arrests the authors noted for drug possession of, opium, cocaine, and their derivatives (morphine, heroin, and codeine) (Schrauzer and Shrestha 1990) (1)

4 Could You Have a Lithium Deficiency? Emily Deans, M.D. in Evolutionary Psychiatry 1/29/2012 Shocking but true, Lithium is an essential trace element. (post#1) Emily Deans, M.D.

Emily Deans, M.D., is a board certified adult psychiatrist practicing in Massachusetts. She graduated from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in 2000 and from the Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency in 2004, and was a Chief Resident at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. She is currently a Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School Contact Emily Deans, M.D. (Here) Chris Aiken, MDM.D. We know that lithium not only treats but helps prevent depression, mania and suicide and can protect nerve cells from damage. (Chris Aiken, MD) Adam Fonseca Jul 18, 2010 According to an article by Ward Dean, M.D., published on the NutritionReview.org website, lithium orotate is a unique supplement that offers many different uses. For example, this supplement may help severely depressed individuals eliminate suicidal thoughts. According to Dr. Dean, patients who are prescribed lithium orotate supplements showcase a lower prevalence of suicide attempts. Deans research may indicate that lithium orotate treatment reduces the risk of suicidal behavior. (post#2)

(Baldessarini et. al., 2003)(4) (Baldessarini et. al., 2006)(5) (Guzzetta et. al., 2007)(6) (Pompili et. al., 2009)(7) (American Psychiatric Association 2003)(8)

As documented by Harvard Medical School research teams and the American Psychiatric Association, lithium is the nutritional solution for the veteran suicide epidemic that reduces all acts of suicide by 8090% in Major depressive, bipolar and schizoaffective patients.

Lithium Orotate/Lithium user comments Suicide Prevention Benefits


Wobbly Veteran 12-31-2003 Well, my lithium has really helped me so much--sometimes I almost feel normal and almost never do I have the suicidal thoughts that plagued me constantly for so many months. I feel it is doing wonderfully (post#1) Jenna320 12 June 2010 (post#6) .Lithium Orotate has changed my life for the better. Toxicity is NOT an issue at the low dose I'm taking it's now been well over 2 months and I'm completely normal and happy for the first time in my life my whole world has transformed. Jenna320 There was more... suicidal thoughts, constant agitation and crying spells, so on and so on Well the 30 mgs elemental dose of Lithium Orotate is working 10 times better than the Lamictal ever did and without one side effect. My whole world has transformed And I'm not the only one. My psychiatrist is now recommending Lithium Orotate to some other patients (on a case by case basis) and they're apparently having great success. (post#7) BI Girl pretty much want to bow and kiss the powers that be for the lift that the Lithium Orotate has brought me; it's amazing that this supplement (which is overthe-counter, carries NO risk unlike the prescription lithium, and has been used in Europe for decades for depression -- why do we NOT know about it here?) has raised me from semi-suicidal to just plain grim. (post#10) scatty 8 June 2011 I can't do SSRIs and lithium brought me out of a suicidal mood within a few days. (post#18) Korey 07-10-2009 I took lithium for over a year (early 2007 to mid-2008) for suicidal thinking, and it helped more than anything I had tried up to that point. I was taken off the lithium pretty abruptly because (the new psych) thought I was just experiencing a placebo effect from the lithium and denied the claim that lithium helps chronically suicidal patients. In the fall of 2008, I stayed in the nuthouse for a week because surprise, surprise - my suicidal thinking came back. That doctor put me back on it while I was in the hospital, but he discontinued it again before 2008 was over. Then I attempted suicide in February of this year only to end up in the nuthouse again. If lithium is working for you, STAY ON IT. (post#4)

6 Great May 21, 2010 ...thoughts of suicide have all but disappeared! Reviewer 1701033 I have noticed my depression is gone and thoughts of suicide have all but disappeared! Initially purchased for mother who has Alzheimers. I've only had her on it for about a week so I have not noticed any difference, however I figured why not try it myself. I take about 10 mg per day and figure even if it doesn't help her, I can now cope. (post#4) katlin09 10-05-2010 I also take the Lithium/Lexapro combo along with a few others, and it has helped my mania, suicide, self harm issues greatly. (post#9) fleabag73 04/01/2012 Hey skeptical, I've been on lithium for years now, and the shit works! It's leveled me off very effectively and pretty much eliminated the suicidal thoughts as well (post#2) tamagotchi 6/6/2011 Lithium is good for my suicide thoughts. I was having a big problem with such thoughts this week, raised my lithium and it helped. If your pdoc suggests it, it's worth a try. (post#6) ginger_flybaby 6/7/2011 I take 600mg of Lithium with 20mgs of Lexapro. It has helped me the last 3 months keep the suicidal ideations at bay. I could not cope right now without it (lithium) to augment my Antidepressant. (post#9) michigangrl75 12-12-2007 (post#1) I've had depressive episodes in between then and now, and on and off Lithium a few times because I didn't like the tremorsI've been on a TON of different antidepressants and mood stabilizers that did not work. Now I'm back on Lithium and feeling really good. I'm getting back up to functionality after a deep suicidal depression dee0881 8-13-2011 I get to take lithium I no longer feel like I have suicidal idealizations. I take 1200 mg daily. (post#6) RKB 05/14/10 Ive been on lithium twice. Each time to halt a depression that was hurtling out of control. And it did just thatIt saved me from suicide so I give it high marks there. (post#9)

7 medi 10 April 2009 I really believe that Lithium keeps me from killing myself (post#4) 3jane 20 February 2012 I still have lingering suicidal thoughts (that I am getting help for in therapy), but they are definitely not as severe or as frequent as they were before the lithium (post#2) blinds8 3/25/12 I'm taking lithium and seroquel and I like the mixture. I really had to look at the side effects of either drug but compared to life before what do I want, a better quality of existence or suicidal depression and mania. (post#3) Staceyr 05/24/2012 I am no longer constantly thinking about suicideI feel it's possible the lithium has helped alleviate the suicidal ideations (post#1) New Millenium 8/17/09 Anyway, the miracle of lithium is that it practically by itself helped me to stop thinking about suicide and too much sex and the drinking went way down to less that 10 per week. I could make decisions based on rational thought not what my libido was driving me to do Just remember that I am alive because of lithium. You will be alive too. More than you would have ever dreamed. Peace to you Kit and cheers to lithium.xx. (post#9) Dee15 02/05/07 Lithium saved my life. Lifted my suicidal depression, keeps me from going manic, and while I still have anxiety on occasion, I don't take meds for it everyday anymore... (post#2) This stuff has changed my life!! Reviewer 1990660 Illinois 5/10/10 Im Bipolar II, and tended to rapid cycle several times a day. My mania was getting to where it was not even the least bit euphoric anymore when I ran across a blurb on Lithium Orotate. Long story short, it's changed my life! and I'm taking 6 pills a day (under my psychiatrist's supervision)if your psychiatrist won't work with you, find one who will (post#1) res003jh 3rd April Lithium Orotate We did a lot of research about it before we tried it, and also counseled with a psychiatrist who has treated hundreds of patients with lithium orotate for the past ten years with remarkable results (his words.) This really works within about a week or so, with no side effects.

8 For the first time in years, I feel an overall deep feeling of well-being. That's the best way I can describe it. I don't feel drugged or hyped-up. I just feel truly well and up to handling any problems or stress that might come our way. My husband has also had wonderful results. He says he doesn't really feel any physical results, but says that he simply feels differently about the things that distressed and discouraged him before. He has been suffering from extreme depression for three years ever since we lost our son who he was very close to. (post#1) Action-reaction Fri Jul 23 I suffered suicidal depression for five years, as soon as two months after I dumped gluten I was back to my old self. (post#3)

ADHD Adults and Children


From the ADD Forum on the Internet: LITHIUM OROTATE for ADD/ADHD is working for us...... 10 Jun 2008 Cannot believe the results!!! My daughter has been on it for a week, saw definite results by day 2 (no moodiness, or mood swings, able to follow through on chores/tasks , her demeanor is calm and can carry on a meaningful conversation, no spacy-ness) she has been off the ritalin for the same week. I am taking it too and not having to take my ritalin or antidepressant med and I actually FEEL good and functional and my appetite/cravings are actually controlled. (post #6) From the ADD Forum on the Internet: Roy C 14th Mar 2009 this is the single best supplement I have ever had. Lithium Orotate and the Blood-Brain Barrier - I have been taking it for almost three weeks. It eliminates that feeling of being irritated and depressed in a minor way due to feeling overburdened I am in my late 50s and I have taken a lot of vitaminsThey helped immensely, but this is the single best supplement I have ever had lithium's effect is a keeper. (post #6) From the ADD Forum on the Internet: ADDme2 15 Apr 2011 Lithium works! imagine my surprise when the Lithium I took worked on my ADD symptoms!! I have been raving about how great I feel on this stuff and how calm it makes my brain. I can be productive and follow through on things. I also have more energy and motivation (post#7) Robert Locke (YouTube video) www.natural-adhd-cure.com Reviewer 3034557 Good God!! Dec 24, 2011 I have spent my whole life, trying to feel better and the deleterious effects of pharmaceuticals are not worth the delivery they never produce. I have seriously never felt sustained happiness in my life. I have ADHD and I do not say or do impulsive behavior with this product. I take divided doses of 30 mgs (6tabs) total per day and I am calm. For those who do not suffer, it is unimaginable that one like me had to wait till I was 56 to live my life, calm cool and collected. I feel the smoothness of neurotransmission and sequential duties are no longer an issue. It is my long awaited miracle!! To say I feel JOY is an understatement!!!!! (post #3)

10 M. Scott "Processor" 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product 1/16/2011 (post#1) I have found this product to be fantastic and have had great results with it. It has helped my mental clarity and ability to concentrate significantly. I have verified its effect by stopping use for a period of time and noticing a big difference once enough time had passed for it to be out of my system. I highly recommend this product for anyone who has trouble focusing or concentrating for long periods of time. greenshots, Feb 23, 2012 ADHD CHILD Has anyone added low dose lithium orotate into the mix? Yes, I use it at low dose twice a day and have noticed a difference with moodWhen my doctor read all the studies on lithium orotate, she said it made a lot of sense for both B12 transport and glutamate regulationWe put my son on this and he went from being out of control to extremely even temperedAnyway, its been good for us! (post#2) emma1325 7/25/12 ADHD CHILD So far, the lithium has produced the best results and Emma is much happier for it. Wanted to check in with this and say that my daughter has been on the lithium orotate for a year and a half now, and it has really, really helped. After about a week of taking it, we noticed that she leveled out quite a bit. She stopped having the violent tantrums (she still occasionally has tantrums but they are mild and infrequent compared to how they were before the lithium), and she has been better able to focus at school. She takes it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a somewhat natural option in treating severe mood swings/anxiety/ADHD. By the way, her test results came back and she was severely deficient in lithium, and toxic in most heavy metals. We've done one form of chelation once, and we're planning to try it again sometime in the future. So far, the lithium has produced the best results and Emma is much happier for it.

Addiction
Anonymous I cannot stress enough how these 2 things helped me become a brand new person. The suboxone got me off of the vicoden and the lithium orotate smooths out all the rough edges and its all natural. I suggest searching for the latter product online and doing your own research to see if its right for you. I am so touched by the level of compassion and courage that this board has. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND STAY STRONG. DUSTIN (post#1) Condumbpope May 2012 I've been addicted to booze (bender/rough times 4yrs) along with xanax/klonopin/ valium use, AND gabapentin use...So my gaba receptors were toast, and I've been in a state of high anxiety for a long time. I saw a doctor who legitimately cares about his patients, and was honest with him. I take Vitamin B12 + Folic acid along with Lithium Orotate (the mineral, not the prescription drug lol)...and it's helped me out a ton... and the best part is that there are no withdrawals! (post#13) Sheila C 8/9/2010 Lithium as antidepressant? That doc I once worked with also used low levels of lithium for everything from addiction down to true bipolar. Seemed to work well. (post#1)

Vistrel 3/26/2010 (post#12) Re: Experiencing the addictive properties of synthetic cannabinoids Swim found nice combo for withdrawal treatment: Krill Oil + Lithium orotate control post addiction depression, mood swings, and anxiety pretty nicely.

Aggression/Violent Behavior
D. Taylor 5.0 out of 5 stars Lithium Orotate works! 12/4/2007 I have been using this for 3 months, and I have noticed that I am not worried, or easily stressed. Thoughts that use to take over my daily routine have been put in the back seat, and I don't waste my time thinking about things that are out of my control. I have also been giving it to 2 of my older children who have mildly aggressive behavior problems, or loss of focus when it comes to school, and homework, and there has been a noticeable difference! I like it a lot! We take 4 to 5 tablets a dayand no side effect on any of us. (post#6) anjali 772009 12 year old with Asperger's syndrome (post#1) My son was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 9, he also suffers from occasional eye tics after he get a Strep throat infection. We tried typical ADHD meds like Adderal, Ritalin which made him worse (almost showing symptoms of bipolar mania)...I started giving him just a pinch of Lithium orotate every other day which helped his aggression and attention span considerablyI am just astounded as to how socially appropriate some of his conversations have become so suddenly. emma1325 7/25/12 ADHD CHILD She stopped having the violent tantrums Wanted to check in with this and say that my daughter has been on the lithium orotate for a year and a half now, and it has really, really helped.

Alcohol Abuse/Withdrawal
coalfire 02-12-2011 Lithium Orotate I have not touched a drink since starting this so I am a big fan. I use Doctors Best brand. I take one 3-4 times daily along with choline supplements and folic acid (the latter is contained in a good B vit complex) as they help it to work. I have not touched a drink since starting this so I am a big fan. Some people feel it right away (me) others say it kicks in on week 2-3 others say the 6 week point. I read that if you are going to try it you should make it a 6-8 week experiment. (post#12) Espoir - 06-27-2007 I am the new member that posted the message about the lithium orotate. I take it in a pill form, twice a dayI can't believe it, but I don't want to drink. I have had a half empty bottle of wine in the kitchen for two weeksit is giving me my life back. I feel "normal", not afraid of going home and finishing a bottle of wine every night. (post#5) Most Bouncy Senior Member - 06-27-2007 This is one of the supplements listed to be taken in the book Seven weeks to sobriety and here is what product info says about it. Many believe Lithium is a drug; in fact, it's an important trace mineral and one that many Americans lack! Standard psychiatric doses of 90-180 mg of Elemental Lithium has given Lithium a negative reputation for causing a "dial-tone" effect. That's too bad; in lesser doses given at HRC (5-15mg of Elemental Lithium daily) we've seen many positive benefits without side effects...particularly for alcoholics: Both practicing and abstinent alcoholics report low-dose Lithium improves mood and decreases the desire for alcohol. Alcoholics on Lithium show a reduction in mood disturbances. Lithium reduces the number of days incapacitated by drinking severe enough to need detoxification. At HRC many abstinent alcoholics are able to normalize sleep patterns more quickly by supplementing with low-dose Lithium. (post#7) SKendall 02-17-2011 I LOVE the LO, I have such a feeling of contentment and hardly any cravingsAlso I am having fewer anxiety/helpless dreams.

20 Natural Ways to Shatter A Drug, Alcohol or Tobacco Addiction


Dr. Jonathan Wright states: In 30 years of nutritionally oriented practice, Ive been told by many alcoholics and their relatives that low-dose lithium can be very helpful for both alcoholism and associated mood disorders. For practicing alcoholics, I recommend a trial of lithium orotate, 10 milligrams three times daily (along with diet advice, niacin, glutamine, and other supplements). I ask recovering alcoholics to try 5 milligrams, three times daily (occasionally more). The majority of these patients report improved mood and decreased desire for alcohol after about six weeks using lithium therapy. An article in the British Journal of Addiction stated both controlled and uncontrolled experiments show that symptoms of both alcoholism and affective disturbance are reduced in patients treated with lithium. (post#2) Flip - 06-23-2007 I've been on lithium carbonate since November last year as part of my alcohol dependence treatment. To be honest, it's changed my life. I feel "normal" for the first time, and I haven't had a drink in those 7 months. (post#2) brianthelion Re: Lithum orotate Dec 11, 2012 (post#3) I did use lithium orotate to help overcome cigarette and mild booze withdrawals and it worked nicely for that. One or 2 every 4 hours for like 3 days, got rid of the sweating and definitely reduced cigarette cravings. Its good for your thyroid as well as some people believe it can be used to help regulate some form of thyroid disorders. Anonymous 12/4/12 5 stars I am stunned at how calming/stabilizing this is. I don't ever remember feeling this calm. EVER. But 7 days on LO (twice a day) and I feel great. I so hope this continues. I could kick myself for not trying this sooner. Oh, and I haven't had a glass of wine in a week, not because I decided to give it up, it just hasn't occurred to me! That NEVER happens. (post#2) Lithium orotate in the treatment of alcoholism and related conditions. (Dr. Sartori 1986) Abstract / Excerpt Lithium orotate proved useful as the main pharmacologic agent for the treatment of alcoholism. Ten of the patients had no relapse for over three and up to 10 years, 13 patients remained without relapse for 1 to 3 years, and the remaining 12 had relapses between 6 to 12 months. Lithium orotate therapy was safe and the adverse side effects noted were minor, i.e., eight patients developed

15 muscle weakness, loss of appetite or mild apathy. For these patients, the symptoms subsided when the daily dose was given 4 to 5 times weekly. (post#1) *

Karl (Norway) 5.0 out of 5 stars My fathers Alzheimer cured?! December 25, 2008 10mg per day (two pills) completely reversed my fathers Alzheimer - over night, just like magic...After three days on Lithium the doctors were stunned and wanted to know what had happened. My mother and father are now celebrating their merriest Christmas in many years (as do I)! All symptoms of any dementia are gone. The best Christmas present ever :-) I am very excited about the future development... (post#1) Nikki Mar 24th 2012 General: Lithium Orotate Has anyone tried this? One of the spouses at the nursing home was recently advised by his neurologist to try this on his wife. I can't remember the dosage, but I know it was rather low. He seems to think he is getting results....Her dose is 10mg. The changes he is seeing is that she is able to talk a little and she is able to move her arms, open her hand, and is more responsive too. (post#2) alyon 01-21-2011 I have been to see my GP today who is also an amazing homeopathic doctor.

I would recommend it to anyone who is having trouble remembering and, also, it helps the nervous system (post#1) CuriousCat 04-27-2010 Yes, we go to an Integrative MD and he has prescribed Lithium Orotate for my 14 year old daughter, my husband and meThe doctor said that it helps with mood, focus, memory, and even helps prevent Alzheimers.

November 7, 2011 I buy this after a friend told me that research has been done that proves that people who take lithium orotate have a smaller chance of getting Alzheimers. I thought what the hey! I seem to be losing my mind anyways. After taking it for about a month I don't see any negative side effects. I also for some reason can remember things better. (post#9)

Anger Management
Abdullah 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product February 14, 2012 I am taking this for anger management. It does work. I notice taking two to three pills different time of the day is the most effective. I am more relaxed when I take this and noticed it works better if you take it with magnesium.

A few months later NO panic attacks! Ok, if it worked for me, would it work for my son? He has SERIOUS ANGER issues...(a big part of the panic I was going through). YES IT WORKS for him.

She takes three a day and the effect has been wonderful. The strange moodiness has all but disappeared. (post#2) Suzanne 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Supplement for Improving your Attitude 4/19/12 I first started taking this supplement on the recommendation of Dr. Jonathan Wright, a pioneer in natural medicine and a world class physician. He has a great article posted on his Tahoma Clinic website that covers the various studies done on lithium and explains the benefits. I feel that the lithium has really helped to improve my mood and hence my life. It is a subtle change, but little things that used to bother me are taken in stride and I just have a better more positive outlook. I have always been good at losing my temper but find it happens a lot less often nowI currently take 10 mgs and that seems to work for me, maybe because I am small about 120 lbs.

Antidepressant Withdrawal
CYMBALTA WITHDRAWAL FORUM - SCOTT July 08 I am 50 years old and have been suffering from ADD and resulting depression and anxiety as long as i can remember.

Anxiety Disorder
Alana Hi Sarah, I just read your excerpt about extreme anxiety/panic attacks. I've suffered from the same kind of panic/anxiety attacks. I get to the point where I can't swallow, and then I can't catch my breath. If I have an attack in the night, I begin to feel as if I'm going to have a heart attack. All of that said, I've been on Zoloft for anxiety and panic attacks for some time. A friend, who is a naturopath, recommended Lithium Orotate during a time when I was weaning myself off of Zoloft to begin another treatment. I take 4 / 120 mg. tabs of lithium orotate daily and it's been amazing. I feel better than I ever have! I haven't had an anxiety/panic attack for months and I sleep soundly at night. I don't feel sluggish or drowsy, but well rested. I can't tell you how long it's been since I had a good nights sleep that left me rested. I don't know what others have experienced with Lithium Orotate, but for me, its been great. Alana (post#1) Marievalenti 5.0 out of 5 stars It helped me September 29, 2012 About a year ago, I started suffering from anxiety attacks.

Solari (Florida) 5.0 out of 5 stars February 12, 2007 One of the most powerful substances I have ever tried!!!

Actually thats a bit of a understatement as of for a few days now I've been feeling great, the volume of anxious thoughts has diminished and generally I feel like I can deal with them quite well.

Aspergers Syndrome
anjali77 2009 12 year old with Asperger's syndrome My son was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 9; he also suffers from occasional eye tics after he gets a Strep throat infection. We tried typical ADHD meds like Adderal, Ritalin which made him worse (almost showing symptoms of bipolar mania)...I started giving him just a pinch of Lithium orotate every other day which helped his aggression and attention span considerablyand I am just astounded as to how socially appropriate some of his conversations have become so suddenly. I would be very grateful if I could get some guidance to help my son through other homeopathic remedies. regards, Anjali (post#1) likeniceweather 3/2/08 Our sons doctor prescribed lithium 5mg every day. We added in all the other supplements he recommended, but this one makes me nervous. Does anyone know more about it? Anyone have experience with using it for ASD? (post#1) sbgrace Moderator of Health and Healing 3/3/08

I think the lithium this doctor is recommending is probably not the medication used for bipolar but a nutritional supplement. I know it sounds scary but there is lithium in our food and water (post#5) Heavenly 3/3/08 There is no possibility whatsoever that you could go toxic on 5 mg of lithium. A standard treatment dose for bipolar is 1200-1800 mg. A standard maintenance dose is 900-1200 mg. Children metabolize faster and even bipolar children are often on doses of 900 mg a day with blood levels not near the toxic level. (post#9) NOTE: 100 mg of Pharma-lithium contains 18.8 mg of pure elemental lithium. A 900 mg dose of Pharma-lithium contains approximately 170 mg of pure elemental lithium. This is compared to 15-40 mg of pure elemental lithium administered via lithium orotate. There is zero possibility of lithium toxicity at 15-40 mg of pure elemental lithium. (Dr. Mark Millar)

Autism
Amanda Mon Oct 29, 2007 We've been using transdermal lithium for about 6 months or soI read somewhere that the autism docs think basically that all the kids should be supplementing lithium.We saw definite results--calmness, less agitated, better overall. My son is 10, so the gains are more subtle, but all was good enough to make it a keeper. I am going to start my other two kids on it, actually. Just the low dose. (post#9) Ladd McNamara, M.D Lithium Orotate: Lithium Orotate is not the same as Lithium Carbonate, commonly used to treat bipolar disorder; nor does it have its side effects. Lithium is a naturally-occurring trace mineral in which many people are deficient. A small dose of lithium orotate works differently than the prescribed drug, lithium carbonate. Lithium Orotate can be effective in helping with bipolar disorder, but it is generally overlooked. It has shown to be helpful in autism, and many other brain disorders. This effective natural mineral can provide benefits by balancing mood hormones, such as serotonin and dopamine. In addition to autism, lithium orotate has been found to be helpful with mood swings, depression, uncontrolled anger, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar depression, schizophrenia, memory disorders, cognitive dysfunction, behavioral issues, language, and drug and alcohol dependency. (post#8) Teresa (Boca Raton, FL) 1/18/2012 I recommend this product!

We tested my son's this spring and it was low so we added lithium orotate and I started notice a very slight increase in speech on days he got the B12 shots. I need to retest soon to see if his levels are where they need to be. We had to start with super tiny amounts and worked up to 1/2 capsule of lithium orotate.

Biological Clock/Circadian Rhythm


Michele September 2, 2008 One of the biggest breakthroughs that Im happy to share was my initial discovery lithium aspartate. It is a natural lithium salt (like lithium orotate) that is about 10 times more powerful than the drug lithium chloride. As a result, you can take as little as 5 or 10 mg a day (I take 10 mg 3X per day) without getting any side effects. And it works! I believe that the main action is in regulating the biological clock (now implicated in a wide variety of mood and sleep disorders) but it also blocks the arachidonic acid cascade (see the wikipedia) which is what leads to prostaglandins, the villains of PMS. My brother, who actually does know a thing or two, thinks BD may be a problem with ion channels in the brain, and yes, lithium helps there, too. Finally, lithium has been shown to be neuroprotective in that it prevents the breakdown of glial cells in the prefrontal cortex, the site of a lot of brain cell loss in untreated BD patients.

In fact before this I got headaches at least every other day and havent had one since I started... (post#10) William 5.0 out of 5 stars Works better for me than Rx Lithium June 8, 2012 I have a diagnosis of bi-polar and have tried Rx lithium and while it did help with racing thoughts, it sent me into severe depression. I started taking 1 pill a day of this lithium orotate (half the recommended daily dose) to gradually see how much I needed. On day-4 I started taking 2 pills a day (1 in AM, 1 in PM) and started to notice immediate results, at least by day 5 anyway. It's great because I don't have to go periodically to doctor's appointments to get blood work done, and this lithium seems to be much more "emotionally friendly" when it comes to rebound depression. I haven't been depressed at all since I have taken it actually. But this natural stuff isn't toxic like Rx lithium is from what I understand. No blood work needed. The 2 pills work great and for about $5 a month I'm able to manage most of my bi-polar symptoms. (post#8) Rating Lithium Orotate john Jan 05, 2012 I have been taking one tablet in the morning and one at night. The effect has been immediate. I am much calmer. No fogginess, better memory. Stressors that used to bother me just wash over me now. I can now engage people and work in stressful situations. It has changed my life. (post#17) Rating I finally feel like a normal functioning human. katibelle Dec 29, 2011 For most of my life, I've dealt with lots of emotional problems that I knew couldn't be normal. I desperately wanted to get better, but I didn't want to see a therapist. In my search I came across Lithium Orotate, and I wish I had discovered it sooner. I finally, FINALLY feel better. I take two 120mg pills twice a day.

31 It took about two days for it to kick in. My moods are finally stable. I feel neither horrendously depressed nor overly happy. I can get work done without being obsessive about it. The random surges of anger and hysterical crying fits are gone. I have not once had the urge to self inflict, and my sleep schedule is finally normal. I finally feel like a normal functioning human being (post#18) Rating Lithium Orotate made me a new person by: Reet Jun 14, 2011 This is my second bottle of Lithium O, so I guess I have been on it about 3 months. I am a new person, for the better. Gone are the dark horrible, negative thoughts, unbearable mood swings, and all the rest. I have so much energy now, I can do all the things I need to and feel happy about doing them. This stuff has saved my life, honestly. Wish I would have found them earlier. When I was younger I was on every anti-depressant going, I hated them. As the years went on, I found it harder to feel happy about anything at all. I love my life now; my marriage is 5,000 times better. I sing, and do not get angry about anything. No stresses. I guess this is what normal people feel like. No wonder some people seem to have a happy life. Now I am one of those, yippee!! It works so, so good, two or three a day. (post#25) JGrubbs 06-29-2005 My wife was diagnosed with bipolar, the doctors tried five or six different meds with her, but the side effects were terrible, and they were only treating her depression, which was making her manic episodes worse.

Satchmo - 16 January 2012


I was diagnosed with Bipolar II when I was 18 (many years ago). I did not respond well to Lithium Carbonate so I stopped taking it years ago and was taking no meds for around 20 years. Every day was a struggle. Until I started Lithium Orotate. Ive been taking LiOr (Lithium Orotate) for 2 years now; 130 mg (equivalent to 5mg elemental Lithium) For me, personally, I have noticed marked improvement in my moods, in terms of decreased irritability. My sleep is much better since taking the LiOr. I can focus on things much more easily, no feeling of cloudiness. (post#8)

I'm just a regular person who wants to help others get out of the same stupid pit I'd been in for yearsIm Bipolar II, and tend to rapid cycle which used to be okay for the euphoria part of the mania, but lately, my mania was barely euphoric at all.

Toxicity is NOT an issue at the low dose I'm takingit's now been well over 2 months and I'm completely normal and happy for the first time in my lifemy whole world has transformed.

Long story short, it's changed my life!...I'm stable and happy (not at all flat) and have actually lost weight, probably because I'm no longer relying on junk food for a mood lift.

Children
greenshots, Feb 23, 2012 Yes, I use it at low dose twice a day and have noticed a difference with moodWhen my doctor read all the studies on lithium orotate, she said it made a lot of sense for both b 12 transport and glutamate regulationWe put my son on this and he went from being out of control to extremely even temperedAnyway, its been good for us! (post#24) emma1325 2/28/11 I've had my 7 1/2 year old daughter on lithium orotate (5 mg) for seven weeks now, and I'm excited to report that we've seen dramatic improvements over this time. It took about a week to start helping, but once she got better, she hasn't turned back. Since her vaccine reaction at 5 months, she's suffered from episodes which would cycle in and out...her issues included: -ADHD symptoms, sometimes looked like mild autism -horrible rages/temper tantrums -trouble sleeping -ticks -anxiety The doctor she saw, who is an MD in the Dallas area, is trained in heavy metal toxicity and the resulting issues. She told us that often heavy metal poisoning can cause a severe lithium deficiency, which can lead to many neurological and sensory issues. I can't express how right this doctor has been so far, and how much better my daughter is. She is like a new person. She is level, she can make sustained eye contact all the time, she can focus, she hasn't had a single meltdown (we were dealing with major fits almost daily) and she's HAPPY. She isn't running into walls, or falling over, or scratching and clawing her arms until they bleed, or banging her head on the wall in her room. She isn't getting "stuck" on a number or phrase and repeating it over and over again like a broken record. Her teacher says she's gone from a C- average to nearly straight A's for six weeks in a row.

34 emma1325 7/25/12 ADHD CHILD Wanted to check in with this and say that my daughter has been on the lithium orotate for a year and a half now, and it has really, really helped. After about a week of taking it, we noticed that she leveled out quite a bit. She stopped having the violent tantrums (she still occasionally has tantrums but they are mild and infrequent compared to how they were before the lithium), and she has been better able to focus at school. She takes it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a somewhat natural option in treating severe mood swings/anxiety/ADHD. By the way, her test results came back and she was severely deficient in lithium, and toxic in most heavy metals. We've done one form of chelation once, and we're planning to try it again sometime in the future. So far, the lithium has produced the best results and Emma is much happier for it.

Cigarette Cessation
brianthelion Posted: Dec 11, 2012 Re: Lithium orotate (post#3) I did use lithium orotate to help overcome cigarette and mild booze withdrawals and it worked nicely for that. One or 2 every 4 hours for like 3 days, got rid of the sweating and definitely reduced cigarette cravings. Its good for your thyroid as well as some people believe it can be used to help regulate some form of thyroid disorders.

MunchMan 2011-01-12 Lithium Orotate, not to be confused with the big-pharma Lithium, Lithium Carbonate...So I thought I would try it. The orotate form is low risk compared to Lithium Carbonate, so why not. I'm glad I did. I haven't felt this good in a long time. The dizziness is much less...Malaise; man I feel like a million bucksI'm comprehending things so much better. Finally, my mental attitude is even keel...I didn't have any twitching; any malaise, any dizziness, any pins and needles, any brain fog, and I have been feeling level-headed.

I don't have anxiety attacks anymore as well as my general anxiety is now completely gone and most of my symptoms from obsessive compulsive disorder have disappeared.

Depression
D. Pegues (Pflugerville TX) 5.0 out of 5 stars Where has this been my whole life? After extensive research and review, I tried this product.

I had been feeling very anxious, short tempered, almost like I was just 'waiting' for some catastrophe. Then I tried this product. Almost immediately I just felt "good"!! Happier, 'life' just didn't seem so 'heavy', things were manageable. My first night taking it I actually went to bed, fell asleep in a short time & slept the whole night! My mind was at peace & I was able to sleep & wake up totally refreshed & feeling in control. Nothing is 'catastrophic' any more. I'm much more even tempered & able to handle things without 'losing it'. I laugh more, moods don't vacillate up & down...don't know what else to say except I feel wonderful the best I've felt in a LONG time!!! Even my friends have noticed the difference in me & they are going to give it a try too. (post#8) Radio Buff (Sylmar, CA United States) 5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah!! March 26, 2012 I heard the author Dr. John Gray [Men...Mars, Women...Venus] in a radio interview, that prompted me to look at the product. I've been taking Omega3 and lots of other supplements for a long time. I mention that because I heard that Lithium Orotate is synergetic with Omega3. What I can say is that I started taking this stuff a week or two ago and everything got better. It's about my thinking, I'm moving ahead in all areas of my life that require thinking, which is pretty much all of it. I have research problems to solve and wow, that area was very stagnant for a very long time and it came to life and "solved itself", I have legal problems and the understanding of what was involved and what to do just went to that next level, you know, the one where you know what the hell you are doing! Billiards and Basketball even went to the next level, I'd been overlooking some very fundamental things but I seem to have this new ability to analyze and retain what I'm doing. Apparently there is something fundamental in my thinking that works a lot better with the Lithium. (post#5)

While I still have bouts of depression, some panic and anxiety, the Lithium orotate seems to have leveled me off quite a bit. I can handle things better now and get out of bed when depression gets the best of me. It may not work for everyone, but for me, it has made life a little more bearable. (post#1) Eric Bagai (Oregon) 4.0 out of 5 stars Smoothing the hills and valleys 3/11/12 For those of us with depressive tendencies or overly strong reactions to everyday events, Lithium Orotate is a blessing. It's not a cure or a panacea, but it does have a decidedly good effect on my life. On my wife's life too. We are calmer, more focused, less quick to anger, less easy to despair. It's not perfect, but it's more what I thought marriage and life really should be like. And now it pretty much is. (post#1) Laura Louise Harden (Oregon) 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Surprised!

She was desperate for relief. Her medication did not seem adequate at all. So after researching options and dosages, she is taking 2 tablets 3 times a day. I know it's only been a week, but she has stabilized for the most part and is even feeling "good". She did not change anything else.

39 Jennifer Geddie (East Texas) 5.0 out of 5 stars A Godsend August 3, 2011 This supplement (normally found in fruits and vegetables!) is wonderful. After ten days I feel I have more even moods and a positive outlook. I have NO side effects, but see the world through a clearer and more cheerful lens. I cannot say how grateful I am for it and the help it has provided. I am beginning to wonder if our epidemic of depression and anxiety in America is a deficiency of the mineral lithium. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE DRUG LITHIUM CARBONATE, which can be toxic. This mineral slides easily into the cells, so only a tiny amount is necessary because of bioavailability (unlike the drug). For anyone struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, difficulty concentrating, or lack of motivation, this is a REAL HELPER. Best of all, it literally is neuroprotective, and assists in neurogenesis (creating new brain cells). A good friend for anyone's brain, especially an older person. I found over 300 positive personal reviews on another site and many folks attest this product is a lifesaver. I add my voice as it WORKS!

(post#8) res003jh 3rd April 2010 We did a lot of research about it before we tried it, and also counseled with a psychiatrist who has treated hundreds of patients with lithium orotate for the past ten years with remarkable results (his words.) This really works within about a week or so, with no side effects. For the first time in years, I feel an overall deep feeling of well-being. That's the best way I can describe it. I don't feel drugged or hyped-up. I just feel truly well and up to handling any problems or stress that might come our way. My husband has also had wonderful results. He says he doesn't really feel any physical results, but says that he simply feels differently about the things that distressed and discouraged him before.

40 Jenna320 June 2010 Wow, I don't know where to begin. Lithium (especially Lithium Orotate) really is the misunderstood mineralI like instant results, and I was pretty disappointed when I didn't feel any different the first couple of days, but shortly after, a sort of calming started setting in and each day has been better than the last. It's been about nearly a month and I'm no longer easily irritated at all. Im also becoming much more social, which has always been very difficult for me in the pastI have to say, I didn't really feel sure the Lithium Orotate was working until about day 8, when my husband was singing in the carWell on Day 8, he broke out in song at the top of his lungs and it didn't bother me in the least. In fact, he's the one who pointed it out. He said, "Hey, I think that new stuff might be working! You don't bite my head off all the time anymore." That was an eye opener! Now that the Lithium Orotate has me interested in life again, I'm taking more proactive approaches in my recovery. I'm walking my dog every day OUTSIDE in the sunshine. I can't believe I'm actually outside in the real world! (post#6) john1022 on December 23, 2003 Definitely only use prescription lithium under a doctor's supervision. But Lithium orotate does not have to be and no blood tests need to be run because it is such small doses of lithium. My doctor gave me this and it seems to be helping with the depression and anxiety side of it. She says they have been having a lot of success with it with bipolar patients and it has little to no side effects. It might be something worth looking into first if it is just a deficiency you are worried about and not bipolar.

41 skypilot21c Oct 20, '07 Bipolar Disorder, Depression, & Lithium Orotate The lithium salt of orotic acid (lithium orotate) improves the specific effects of lithium many-fold by increasing lithium bio-utilization. The orotates transport the lithium to the membranes of mitochondria, lysosomes and the glia cells. Lithium orotate stabilizes the lysosomal membranes and prevents the enzyme reactions that are responsible for the sodium depletion and dehydration effects of other lithium salts. The lithium salt of orotic acid (lithium orotate) improves the specific effects of lithium many-fold by increasing lithium bio-utilization. Because of the superior bioavailability of lithium orotate, the therapeutic dosage is much less than prescription forms of lithium. For example, in cases of severe depression, the therapeutic dosage of lithium orotate is 150 mg/day. This is compared to 900-1800 mg of the prescription forms. In this dosage range of lithium orotate, there are no adverse lithium side reactions and no need for monitoring blood serum measurements. (post#1)

Lithium The Misunderstood Mineral Part 1

D Dr. Jonathan V. Wright, MD

Think young into your 90s with this anti-aging secret for your brain The biggest problem with lithium treatment is peoples perception of it. Since its most well known use is for bi-polar disorder, lithium sometimes encounters the same stigma as mental illness itself. (post#1)

Can lithium aspartate or lithium orotate help depression?


Dr. Jonathan Wright of the Tahoma Clinic states that lithium helps protect the brain. Because it is not patentable, companies do not promote its use, though Wright has used it in his practice for 30 years to treat mood disorders. Both lithium orotate and aspartate are safe to use. They differ in that one is bonded to an orotate ion and one to an aspartate ion. Both have been shown to be effective in treating depression. Wright suggests a trial of 10 mg of lithium orotate three times a day to improve mood.

42 This protocol also helps decrease the desire for alcohol in alcoholics. Low doses of lithium orotate and lithium aspartate can have beneficial effects on depression. (post#1) BI Girl pretty much want to bow and kiss the powers that be for the lift that the Lithium Orotate has brought me; it's amazing that this supplement (which is overthe-counter, carries NO risk unlike the prescription lithium, and has been used in Europe for decades for depression -- why do we NOT know about it here?) has raised me from semi-suicidal to just plain grim. (post#10) Sky Jun 2, '09 Lithium Orotate vs. Depression Prescription strength lithium must be used in high amounts to achieve therapeutic efficacy, because the cells of the body generally poorly absorb it. Lithium and many other drugs must be absorbed into the cells where they affect the internal cellular chemistry to cause physiologic changes. Because lithium does not readily enter the cells, patients must take very high doses to force lithium into the cellsLithium Orotate is much safer than its prescription strength counterparts yet at the same time it maintains a similar degree of efficacy. Because of this, much lower doses can be used, and toxic side effects are avoided, but clinical improvements are similar. (post#1) Wayne, Aug 3, 2011

A friend of mine started out taking the 50 mcg dose, and received a huge benefit. When he could no longer find it locally, he went to the 5 mg size, but found it was too much for him to handle. So he takes individual capsules and splits them up, and does well with it. I would think the 5 mg size would be more economical. For some people, the 50 mcg size might be more optimal and convenient.

I like it a lot! We take 4 to 5 tablets a dayand no side effect on any of us. (post#6) ADDme2 15 Apr 2011 Lithium works!

Fibromyalgia
Toinette Fontrier, MD - Lithium for Fibromyalgia Author Affiliations Department of Anesthesiology, Wake Forest University Medical Center, Winston-Salem, NC To the Editor: I feel ethically obligated to write this letter. I am an anesthesiologist and have been disabled by fibromyalgia for over 10 years. During this time, my husband, John Lewis, also an anesthesiologist and I have been studying the disease. After excess activity, a major component of my pain can become debilitating, affecting all aspects of life and preventing sleep. This pain is not responsive to opioids, NSAIDs, or gabapentin. However, a dose of 300 mg of lithium carbonate will decrease the pain by 7080% within 40 minutes. The effect lasts 45 hours. It is dramatic. It is reproducible. There is precedent for its use. (1,2) Dr. Lewis and I believe that fibromyalgia may be related to a calcium-parathyroid axis dysfunction. Lithium causes a brief rise in parathyroid hormone. Perhaps this is the reason for the drugs efficacy. (3) Lithium has a long history of safe use. It is inexpensive and readily available. Side effects are usually well tolerated. If large doses are needed, blood levels should be monitored. It is worth a try. (post#1) References

Sheila Cipro - Las Vegas NV. 1/1/2011 Thank you Dr. Millar! Lithium Orotate has been a total God send for me. I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for over 10 years and have tried every conceivable medication and alternative method for this crippling disease and nothing brought me the relief that I was praying for. I even endured painful injections into my muscles trying to relieve the severe spasms but nothing worked. My pain was so severe that I would call it an 8 on a scale of 10. Ten being the pain I experienced in child birth. I mean my pain was severe in my neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, legs, arms, hands and fingers. I have not been able to work for years and I have become quite disabled by this

46 illness. I am now 77 years old and had come to believe that I would have to suffer through this for the rest of my life. This illness has affected every aspect of my life and I have been a prisoner to it. However within 24 hours of starting the Lithium Orotate in the dosage you recommended I felt as if my disease was leaving my body. Today I am pain free and learning to live again with joy and hope. I am enthusiastically sharing Lithium Orotate with all of my friends, family and acquaintances. Unfortunately most people believe that lithium is a dangerous drug and are very reluctant to use Lithium Orotate. What a tragedy! So many people are suffering needlessly with fibromyalgia! The relief I feel cannot even be expressed in words. Thank you for your consulting with me to help me understand that Lithium is not a drug, but in fact a very safe and critically essential trace mineral. I am looking forward to reading your book and sharing it with my family and friends. Sincerely, Sheila Cipro (post#4)

Ward Dean, MD Fibromyalgia and Lithium Orotate Question: Dear Dr. Dean, In the December 2005 Vitamin Research News in the Customers' Corner section you answered a letter titled "Depression." You said that one of your patients took Lithium Orotate 3 caps twice per day for debilitating fibromyalgia and experienced complete resolution of his symptoms. I have fibromyalgia (had it for many years). I am in good health, 64 years old, with mild hypertension and would like to know more about this. I never heard about Lithium for fibromyalgia. How does this supplement help? Thanking you in advance, Ms. M. Answer: Dear Ms. M., Lithium Orotate seems to act as a "nerve stabilizer." I think that's why it is so beneficial in so many "nerve-related" conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, shingles, and migraine headaches... (See last post) By Alice R. Laule, M.D. Lithium has been used to reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, and cluster headaches, especially when these symptoms are associated with psychiatric symptoms. (post#1) Dr. Norman Shealy, MD I began using lithium orotate as a safe alternative to prescription lithium carbonate over 25 years ago, based on the recommendations of Dr. Hans Nieper in THE HOLISTIC HEALTH REVOLUTION. Anorexia nervosa, ADHA, aggressive behavior, alcoholism, cluster headache, and fibromyalgia are all benefited from supplements of lithium. (post#1) Use lithium orotate, 20 to 45 mg daily (#6)

I've been thinking about this misunderstood "mineral" for a couple years now and it's come up again. One gal on the LDN board is talking about how great she is feeling on it.

I had been feeling very anxious, short tempered, almost like I was just 'waiting' for some catastrophe. Then I tried this product. Almost immediately I just felt "good"!! Happier, 'life' just didn't seem so 'heavy', things were manageable. My first night taking it I actually went to bed, fell asleep in a short time & slept the whole night! My mind was at peace & I was able to sleep & wake up totally refreshed & feeling in control. Nothing is 'catastrophic' any more. I'm much more even tempered & able to handle things without 'losing it'. I laugh more, moods

Irritability
CuriousCat 04-27-2010 Yes, we go to an Integrative MD and he has prescribed Lithium Orotate for my 14 year old daughter, my husband and me.In just 2 days his mood was amazingly better!!!! He feels at peace and happy (miraculous for him). He also feels like his blinders are off and is interested in lots of little things that he never noticed before. He was/is a workaholic, and was only interested in business issues. He now finds joy in little things. He is not as irritable or grumpyWe are all taking 10mg 2 times per day (1/2 hour before breakfast and at bedtime). The doctor said that it helps with mood, focus, memory, and even helps prevent Alzheimers (post#3) Jenna320 June 2010 Wow, I don't know where to begin. Lithium (especially Lithium Orotate) really is the misunderstood mineralI like instant results, and I was pretty disappointed when I didn't feel any different the first couple of days, but shortly after, a sort of calming started setting in and each day has been better than the last. It's been about nearly a month and I'm no longer easily irritated at all. Im also becoming much more social, which has always been very difficult for me in the pastI have to say, I didn't really feel sure the Lithium Orotate was working until about day 8 (post#6) Saved by Lithium Orotate Reviewer 2824612 from Australia 4/12/2012 Excellent product. I purchased this for my 17 year old daughter who has been trying to give up her addiction to Marjiuana and has suffered from rage attacks and severe irritability. Her mood has completely evened out and she no longer suffers with irritability. Which means we all no longer suffer from her irritability (post#4) Appears to be exactly what I needed Reviewer 3159850 Australia I purchased this after developing some depression & severe irritability/crankiness for no explainable reason over the last 4 or 5 years. I am not diagnosed Bipolar & there was no history of bipolar. I was always an easy going, happy, have fun & laugh at anything kind of person & suddenly I wasn't anymore. So I had some test results come back recently that showed my lithium levels were extremely low. I am only on my 2nd day so I don't have much to go off yet other than to say only a couple of hours after just the 1st tablet I noticed a massive improvement in my mood, now after a couple more doses I am cool, calm & collected and for the 1st time in a long time I am excited & motivated again about life. As Ive heard other people say, it felt like the FOG of depression has been lifted, I am smiling & happy & no irritability so far, things at work that would normally spark an angry response don't phase me at all like the good old days. I feel relaxed and back in control. I feel like the REAL me for the

53 1st time in a number of years. I've read reviews elsewhere where people are taking as much as 10 tablets a day...I don't think it's necessary for me but each to their own... (post#1) Judy (Columbus, KS) 9/8/2011 I recommend this product! I buy this for my husband and it really does work in smoothing out his bad moods and temper issuesI've told several people about it too.

Ive been taking LiOr (Lithium Orotate) for 2 years now; 130 mg (equivalent to 5mg elemental Lithium)For me, personally, I have noticed marked improvement in my moods, in terms of decreased irritability. My sleep is much better since taking the LiOr. I can focus on things much more easily, no feeling of cloudiness. (post#8)

I have cut out sugar and starting taking lithium orotate and Q10. The anxiety is the best it has been in literally 4 years. I feel better too. Lithium orotate is supposed to help with lyme toxins and the brain, Q10 for the heart. My heart palps have all but stopped and my head pressure is gone.

I have not researched the theories behind this. Hubby was feeling great -- the best he has felt in the 10 years since he got sickAnyway -- he ran out of the lithium. Started feeling worse within a couple of days and increasingly bad over the next couple of weeks. Restarted the lithium and he noticed improvements within a couple of days. Generally just a more positive mood and increased libido and also slight decrease in headaches as well. Hubby has taken many supplements but this is one of the few that he can actually tell helps.

Waynesrhythm 5/28/11 11:30 AM Hi Below is a post I did recently on another forum regarding a request for suggestions to help with sleep. I thought it might be appropriate here as lithium is purported to be helpful for many of the neurological conditions mentioned in this thread; depression, anxiety, sensory overload, etc. Wayne ....................................................... Hi CBS64, I'm getting ready to try the natural mineral called "lithium orotate". This supplement is fairly well known in the Lyme community to be able to calm an agitated brain/neurological system. This calming helps many sleep better. Apparently, many years ago, after observing lithium had a calming effect, it was researched to see what kind of brain chemical or neurotransmitter effect it had. To the researchers' surprise, they learned it had none of these effects at all. The reason it worked so well for a variety of neurological symptoms was because lithium is extraordinarily neuroprotective and is able to protect the brain from toxicity. Chronic health conditions such as Lyme, and I suspect at least some cases of ME/CFS, generally have various kinds of bacterial and microscopic parasitic infections. These infections can release potent neurotoxins into our bodies (and brains) so that we're exposed to them 24/7. Lithium apparently has the ability to provide a great deal of protection from these toxins. (post#14)

56 MunchMan 2011-01-12 She mentioned a supplement he likes to prescribe during CAPi is Lithium Orotate, not to be confused with the big-pharma Lithium, Lithium Carbonate. Lithium Orotate helps protect the brain from neurotoxins and can be found at Vitamin Shoppe or other online supplement shops. So I thought I would try it. The orotate form is low risk compared to Lithium Carbonate, so why not. I'm glad I did. I haven't felt this good in a long time. The dizziness is much less...Malaise; man I feel like a million bucks. I don't feel like I'm seeing myself in 3rd person. I'm comprehending things so much better. Finally, my mental attitude is even keel. Not the extreme ups and extreme downs since this mess started. I take 120mg once a day. I felt like none of this ever happened. I didn't have any twitching, any malaise, any dizziness, any pins and needles, any brain fog, and I have been feeling level-headed. I really hope this helps like it has helped me. Until then, God Bless Christian. (post#1)

It has controversially been promoted as an alternative to lithium carbonate. Notice the distinction between "carbonate" and "orotate".

Lithium orotate is a safe and simple way to help beat the bluesThe mineral can also improve your spacial memory,(3) increase your brain mass and function (providing excellent everyday brain cell protection and re-growth), and alleviate the pain of migraine and cluster headaches, low white blood cell counts, juvenile convulsive disease, alcoholism, and liver disorders. If you suffer from nearsightedness or glaucoma, you may benefit from the slight dehydrating effect of lithium on the eye, which can improve your vision and reduce intraocular pressure. (4) So now theres no need to take the winter blues lying down. To keep your brain functioning at peak performance, and maintain an optimistic mood, just take 10 to 20 milligrams of elemental lithium per day. Many lithium supplements contain 5 milligrams of elemental lithium (be sure to read labels carefully), so you would need two to four tablets or capsules for the correct dose. (5) (post#1) REFERENCES

It does not require a prescriptionIt is a safer, natural form of lithium, called Lithium Orotate...It was formulated by Ronald Reagan's former doctor, a naturopath. I know others who have used Serenity who have Morgellons Disease aka lithium orotate with good results. If you have a naturopathic doctor you might ask them about lithium orotate. So I tried some Serenity (lithium orotate). It was very strange because of how quickly it worked for me. The first day I was the same no change. The second day I was astonished to discover my mood, my memory were at pre disease levels! I did not feel weird or funny. Just BETTER. What was even more astonishing was how it has a residual effect to where it seems you can even do less than the three pills recommended a day. I take two a day now YES I did talk to my doctor and they were happy they said, to know there was a safer natural form of lithium, this lithium orotate. They were not worried about interactions with my Diovan for blood pressure. There were none. (post#7)

Nightmares
Michael Alex Hamilton - Operation Iraqi Freedom "Before I tried lithium orotate I had been prescribed antipsychotics and antidepressants for my PTSD and depression diagnosis. I stopped taking them because of the awful way they made me feel. I am so grateful to have found this natural nutritional solution. I would say that my depression has been relieved by about 80% to a level and frequency that I can totally deal with and my anxiety has completely vanished. I am ready to go back to job searching and find my new job. One of the biggest surprises for me is that the nightmares I used to have frequently have completely gone away. Thank you Dr. Mark."

Schizophrenia
Wayne, Oct 11, 2011 A quick story: When I bought my first bottle of lithium orotate at a local store (twice as expensive as ordering online), there was a young man in his twenties in the store who overheard our conversation about lithium orotate, and offered his own experience. His best friend in his teenage years developed schizophrenia, and had become exceptionally disabled from it despite the numerous medications that have been tried over the years. Once he started on the lithium orotate (just recently), his condition improved dramatically quite quickly (post#29)

(post#61) Michele September 2, 2008 One of the biggest breakthroughs that Im happy to share was my initial discovery lithium aspartate. It is a natural lithium salt (like lithium orotate) that is about 10 times more powerful than the drug lithium chloride. As a result, you can take as little as 5 or

68 10 mg a day (I take 10 mg 3X per day) without getting any side effects. And it works! I believe that the main action is in regulating the biological clock (now implicated in a wide variety of mood and sleep disorders) (post#16) Satchmo - 16 January 2012 Every day was a struggle.

Stress Relief
angela 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! 18 Jan 2012 Decided to try this as another attempt to find something to calm me and stop me pushing myself too far and being impulsive, then exhausted and down. Well, I can tell you these work. I feel less stressed, even not at all, and sleep better. I use one per day or half each end of the day if not stressed. My grown up son is using one at night and it makes him go to bed earlier, sleep, and then more easy going the next morning. For that alone it's worth it. 'Balanced' is the word here. I'm still energetic, not groggy/tired, yet more relaxed and pleasant. I don't even moan about other driver's on the road. My mind is clearer and i get more done. I am amazed at how good it is. Very happy indeed! (post#2) Linda Evans from Matthews, NC My favorite supplement September 30, 2009 Lithium orotate works really well to help me stay calm and relaxed.

ZlatinVal from Bulgaria Aug 18, 2012 Many health practitioners don't realize the need of lithium. It is a kind of misunderstood mineral just like Iodine is.

The researchers reported that the lithium-treated rats experienced 56 percent less cell death and significantly fewer neurologic deficits than the control rats...The amounts of lithium researchers recommend for brain anti-aging range from 10 to 20 milligrams (from lithium aspartate or lithium orotate) daily...Lithium significantly protects against this type of cell death, so much so that this effect has been calledrobust (a term scientists use to mean It really works!
