Hi friends, is this a good idea adding Lithium orotate 5 mg and those extra vitamins to my lyme and psychosis depression treatment?

Vitamin B6 B8 B12 and B1 (already taking)?

Any ideas about the Lithium Orotate 5 mg ?

During prodromal sz I experimented with supplements a lot as I felt ill but didn’t know I had sz. Lithium orotate was the worst and most dangerous. Tremors, nystagmus, weight gain, brain fog/decrease and slowing in cognition, and possibly damages the thyroid gland forever. You will need thyroid hormones for the rest of your life.

Hi Aziz, be also carefull with vraylar and gambling aswell… its also still a danger…

how much lithium orotate did you take? what you are describing sounds terrible, are you sure you didn’t take Lithium carbonate instead of the orotate. i was planning on taking 5 mg, this is a nightmare I have lyme disease with psychosis that’s why i wanna take it.

Yea I am afraid it will be the same as Abilify but will try it to be sure. For Lithium I tried the orotate Dr. Nieper one I think 120mg orotate which yields 5mg elemental lithium. I took up to 3 pills a day. It didn’t damage my thyroid afaik but lithium is known to damage the thyroid at high enough doses. I believe the carbonate has more elemental lithium/mg?

In England we don’t have pdocs pushing marketing of drugs on us like it seems in the US

Still, they have never once told me to take any supplements for mental health

The most was a multi vitamin because my diet is poor

Lithium didn’t do anything for me. Waste of money.

Methyl-B12 made me aggressive.

I take 15 mg. of Lithium Orotate twice a day with food, as recommended by a doctor. I believe it is good for me.

Like, doctors often don’t think of vitamins and minerals unless there are studies to read. And it makes little sense to do such studies, because there is little profit from vitamins and minerals.
