There is evidence that lithium has helped but I don't think there is the clinical evidence that would lead a psychiatrist to prescribe it for PMMD. And a doctor surely won't be prescribing lithium orotate or aspartate for anything. I totally forgot about these forms of lithium.

One thing to keep in mind is lithium orotate really is not much different than lithium carbonate. We don't know yet if there is any real advantage to using lithium orotate over lithium carbonate. There is no definitive research telling us that lithium orotate is more bioavailable than lithium carbonate. It does appear that lithium orotate and lithium carbonate may have slightly different effects with some individuals. To figure this out of course would require personal experimentation. It seems that the main advantage to using lithium orotate right now is that you don't need a prescription and can purchase it off the internet or possibly at your local Vitamin Shoppe or other vitamin store.
