User Reviews for lithium

I have been taking Lithium Orotate (Biovea 5mg) for the past 5 days and I'm happy to say it works for my GAD and mild depression. Before taking LO, I was always on the edge, unable to relax and all i want to do was curl into a ball and be alone. But now i feel so much better,im able to sit still, relax and just let go. I'm so glad it worked.

Anxiety upon awakening since i can recall. Totally disappated within ten days. No other side effects

having side effects. dizziness, double vision weak motor skills, thirsty all the time, muscle weakness,

By the second day, I had not felt that good in years. I have been on lithium for many years now and would never go back to main stream meds. I don't have side effects and I sleep much better now.

Hello, I'm 34 & I take lithium for my bipolar and I've been on it for 6 months now. I take 300 mg 3 times a day which has really helped me. My main complaint has been acne, the pain behind my eyes and howhow almost everything taste nasty. Otherwise I've had pretty good success so far with my treatment.

I do not like the medication. It makes me extremely sleepy. It also seems to cause really bad tremors and involuntary muscle movement. I do a lot of typing in my line of work so it is extremely disruptive to my livelihood.

Ive not had a good experience. Ive suffered all side effects. And is an extremely big dissapoitment. Overall id not recomend taking lithium carbonate.

the natural li zyme forte is a miracle mineral for me...I was dealing with social anxiety and cured within a week or two. It is a natural miracle for me. Try it it wont harm you you can take it with anything else. Whats the hurt to just try it.

I took lithium from 1981 to 1997. It destroyed my kidneys. Now I'm on kidney dialysis and I need a transplant.

electric pulsing feelings

Im not sure yet but I think that i am having a reaction from this medication

For a normally happy and easy going person, Struggling with depression even for a short time was alarming. Started with one 120 mg tab every morning and began feeling better almost immediately. My doctor recommended 5 mg but I found the 120 mg first so I started it. Will probably change to the 5 mg soon but will keep the 125 mg handy just in case.

I am 40 years old - I was diagnosed Bipolar II about 3 years ago. I have been on so many medications and was resistent to Lithium. After the initial tremor subsided I have been happy with the results for over a year now. There has been some weight gain, but it's worth it for a peaceful mind. Keep in mind that this is all a guessing game, so what works for some may not work for others. I wish everyone the most peaceful mind and body possible.

It's helped as a mood stabilizer.

I.ve been severely depressed and have bipolar, ptsd with suicide ideation and I've taken a lot of different meds through psychs and life does not change because I'm taking pills

After trying several SGAs,depakote, tegretol, and neurontin, and still having instability I finally learned to accept lithium as the one thing that keeps me the most stable. I was resistant to lithium but in spite of weight gain and flattening of emotions and some foggy thinking, it works best as far as helping me keep my job and getting along with people. I do take a medication holiday once every couple of weeks. The other meds i tried either were ineffective or made me want to sleep all the time or caused worse weight gain or caused diabetes. I had very bad problems working on other meds. I've also had two sets of ect in my life. Every time I've gone off lithium I've always returned because the alternatives are worse. It does allow me to have a life. And that's not bad. Read More Read Less
