Lithium Withdrawal, Tapering Lithium Carobonate, Side Effects & Alternatives | Alternative to Meds.

I have seen withdrawal cause immediate, severe mania. In that case, the doctor recommended cutting from 300 mg to 0 mg immediately. Patient was admitted to the hospital for five days.

I can't wait! Hell yes!! I just dumped it all down the drain. The best news I've heard all week. 😊

@@stevenchapman5810 I wish you the best with that. Take care of yourself!

It was just passing strait through my system, no withdraw what so ever. I went from 900mg to zero in 4 weeks. It was tearing up my stomach , now I don't even have heartburn . My doctor was afraid of liability issues, so I used a different doctor to get off the meds.

Hi, i am curious - i often hear people say that its neurotoxic or that we cleanse the nervous system. But the nervous system per se doesnt seem to be the only one involved in "mental" and "mood" issues. And some of the terrible systemic effects of the lithium i have been on for 10+ years have to do with metablic, hormonal problems - thyroid, parathyroid damage, high blood calcium, hypertension etc . All these are interrelated .. so my question is why do we focus on the neurotoxicity or nervous system for "bipolar" when its so complicated ?I also struggle to understand .... My psychiatrist has literally told me lithium is "neuroprotective" 😮 how

[@aneliadraganova3504]

It could be but in mirco dosing and only in the form of Lithium orotate. It comes in 5 mg caps. According to research up to 30 mg a day is absolutely safe and has neuroprotecfive properties. Usually people start with 10 mg a day divided on 2. Supplements that can increase Lithium orotate efficiency so you can stay on a lower daily dose are NAC, 3g of Vit C, Taurine, Inositol but preferably the other 3. Inositol with Lithium need a bit more caution. You can find functional medical doctor or Naturopath doctor that may help you navigate how exactly to enhance Lithium orotate in micro dosing to get the desired effects without the need of higher daily dose. Hope that might help. Good luck!

I took lithium and fluoxetine for many years, after getting control of my emotional status through counseling I have completely Eliminated both medications completely, and feel better than I have for 20 years. I was taking 900 mg of lithium a day and tapered it down to 0 in 4 weeks. Zero side effects. Doctors mistakenly tell patients once you start these medications you have to take them for life. I am in my 60's. That is simply not true. There are just too many different drugs for doctors to keep track of.

​. Check Better mental health with natural remedies. Peter Smith, UK practitioner, viewed as the best mental health clinic in UK and Europe. He has deep understanding and knowledge professionally but also because he himself have Bipolar Disorder. He have great information how to use Lithium orotate and what other supplements are enhancing Lithium activity so you can stay on lower dose. Peter Smith himself is on 10mg Lithium orotate daily however some people use 10 mg, 20 mg to up to 30 mg a day decided on 2 or 3 times intake. Hope that might help

Um

[@jocs8824]

the trouble is orotate gets lithium into cells more easily so it could mean it is accumulating more easily too also supplements are not always as labelled. mislabeled lithium orotate has occurred in Canada. it was removed from sale because of that.

[@MrJacobmetcalf]

This guy is leading people the wrong way I just had to point it out if you're taking lithium please stay on it
