Your dosage observations were interesting to me because, I basically felt that with the water-soluable vitamins if you took more than your body needed, they would just go out with the urine and not really effect anything except the pocketbook if you were wasting more than you needed. But I guess the body has to work a little harder to get rid of the waste wich takes up more energy than I may realize??? dunno, something to ponder.
hmmm...now, the zinc and P5P is definitely something to think about! I have not tried either before. But I am guessing if it helps the body to assimilate the B-6 better, that I may not need to take so much B-6 in the first place , or will get added benefit from the b-6. I'll try it and let you know! Though have to say...my pill box is getting quite full and I am starting to feel less inspired taking so many at a time.
Also thought I'd mention that the Lithium Orotate is working incredibly well for the anxiety that I was having which seemed to cycle me back into depression. I didn't quite realize how much the anxiety was effecting me until one day I woke up without it! go figure! That said though, I am definitely affected by seasonal depression. Picked up a homeopathic dropper formula for Mood/Blues from the local co-op grocery store (or can get it online www.newtonlabs.net) I was very skeptical, but decided to give it a go. Started loading doses of 6 drops every 15 min for 3-4 hours...wow! It was either a really good placebo effect, or it truly does work...I am tending to believe that it is doing something because I can actually feel the fog lift out of my brain...so weird/hard to describe. Then I feel much more comfortable in my skin and social with a little pep in my step. lol we'll see how long that lasts ;o)
I am wanting to try the Chinese herbal formula that Hombre uses...and I just keep having this nagging feeling that I need to do a liver clense or take a liver support supplement. Prob should take something for kidneys too since they can be affected by lithium (even if it is much less of an issue when using the orotate formula)
