Re: Lithium Orotate

Hi Pete,

I have found lithium orotate to help a little with my Depression as well (possible bipolar disorder as well). I seem to think most of my Depression is related to serotonin though, and lithium orotate increases serotonin levels in the brain as one of the actions. I have recently added the amino acid 5htp and that seems to be helping as well with increasing my serotonin, I have felt better the last 4 days I have taken it.

My pdoc says they have had really good luck with lithium orotate for bipolar and 5htp for depression. Just wanted to ask when you say 15mg lithium orotate in the am, afternoon and pm, do you mean 3 pills each time for a total of 9 pills a day? (because I think there is 5mg per pill) just curious. I have have heard of people taking more than the 2-4 recommended amount but havn't heard of this much. Thanks! best of luck to you
