In reply to Re: Lithium Orotate for depression? Anyone using this » BetweenDreams81, posted by Hombre on September 21, 2010, at 23:28:15
Thanks Hombre! Fantastic info. It's so hard to choose which to try first...it all sounds great, and who doesn't want relief like yesterday, but the reality is this is going to take a little bit of patience to figure out and I'll probably try one thing at a time to assess and re-assess.
I like the TCM approach to things and find that it works well with the horses...big animals, but incredibly sensitive...in some ways much more so than us humans
I have the LiOr and Cell Membrane Complex (Ca/Mg/K) on order and just picked up D3 yesterday since the depression seems to onset with the seasons and lower levels of it are produced due to the fewer hrs of sun rays. I like the idea of fish oil. I think it is probably wise for me to get some sort of herbal liver/kidney support supplement because of the Lithium even if it is at a miniscule dose. Would that be the Bupleurum? I'd have gone with the Chinese formula if I hadn't already purchased the Cell Membrane Complex...they both have the Ca/Mg/K, though, through different mechanisms of delivery.
I think I will go ahead and make an appointment with a psychiatrist in the next couple weeks though, and I'll just flat out tell them I am not comfortable/interested in taking certain groups of drugs and see what happens. I did find a couple of OD's who specialize in psychiatry.
Hombre, what is your "cocktail" of supplements/Rx etc, if you don't mind my asking? Is it working for you? How long did it take for you to figure out...or is this a constant ever-changing ebb and flow with the unpredictability of life?
Thanks!
