Lithium orotate

I added lithium orotate alongside my antidepressants after a colleague mentioned he found it very useful. I checked with my psychiatrist who said it shouldn’t do any harm but he couldn’t recommend it personally as is not allowed to prescribe supplements so it has to be my decision. I can honestly say it has made a huge difference, I can’t believe how much it helps - I did a test by stopping and starting it to see if it really was helping. It helps as much as my antidepressant (which works well for me) alongside my lifestyle changes, therapy and meditation etc. it feels like the icing on the cake, I don’t fall into spirals of negative thinking that can pull me down and I can just can brush off intrusive thoughts quite easily. I’ve struggled with depression since my teens and with support manage well, but I feel adding this has pretty much moved me into complete remission so much so I am looking to be discharged from services soon as I have a new job and am just getting on with life now and enjoying it - I don’t know if it’s beneficial as a add on to my antidepressants or would work as well on its own - but for me it has been a fantastic addition to my wellbeing.Nick

I could not be without this now - and find to my surprise that John Grey (of Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars) recommends this along with calcium orotate and another orotate which I can't remember. Really restores my equanimity!Pat
