Hi Brunn. Benzo=benzodiazepines eg diazapam etc. Its not a perfect description. I was trying to capture the zonked feeling. I am intrigued that you have had the same initial response as myself however I am aware that you have a lot of variables going on.The ones you mentioned plus you have just come off a very intense Baclofen Journey and sometimes the tiredness only hits when the stress is over.I know you are very focused on weight loss right now and you are right-the LO will keep.Ok good luck with the diet. Looking forward to hearing about your progress.

More experiences on Lithium Orotate would be welcomed, if anyone lurking out there has some good/bad/useful info. Thanks again for this thread.

Hey! just tuned in here after a long absence -- Bruun, did I read wrong here? 250mg? I am taking 5mg (sometimes 10mg), which I think is the standard. 250mg? I would think that would knock you out!

LO can be hard on the liver, you know.

Just sayin'

So can voda, though.

well spotted Beatle! I didnt see that! The maximum I read you could take is 6x5mg tablets. I started off with 2 or 3x5mg tablets then moved up to between 4 and 6 5mg tablets-mostly 6 which is 30 mg per day. I feel well on it. I hope thats a misprint on brunns part.

That sound funny. My bottle of Advanced Research from vitacost.com of Lithium Orotate has 200 tabs @ 120MG each. Not mcg, just checking. There must be a labeling or marketing thing going on here, cuz this definitely says what I just wrote and dosage = 1 tablet twice a day.

Nutrient Carriers Advance Research? Lithium Orotate -- 120 mg - 200 Tablets - Vitacost

Cinders, thanks for the headsup. My whole body could use a break. She says as she drinks a warm beer.

Note I took two more LO's before I read/wrote this, and the last time I hd it was Friday. Uhoh.

Coal, thanks for that link, very helpful and relieved my concern over taking another two. I def feel a little woozy on a beer and two LO's. Not bad, actually. So long as I can fecking work tomorrow.

Mine is drs best and it says lithium 5mg FROM 125mg of lithium orotate. Take a look at the back of the bottle. Is there anything like that there?

[coalfire]

lithium orotate again.

Its the amount of elemental lithium that counts so eg doctors best 125mg tablet has 5mg of elemental lithium. I presume yours is the same.

[coalfire]

Yes it is I googled it. You are grand.Nutrient Carriers Incorporated, Advanced Research, Lithium Orotate, 200 Tablets | Depression Without Drugs The AR brand has 4.8mg of elemental lithium per tablet and 30 is the highest recommended dose that I have read about so far anyway.

[beatle]

lithium orotate again.

good! that has been sorted out.

I'm not sure if it got lost here, but lithium orotate is not hard on the liver at all. That's why you don't need blood tests with it, and it is considered a supplement, and is not dispensed by prescription.

[Bruunhilde]

Thanks very much for figuring this out Coal - my bottle doesn't say anything but "Lithium (as lithium lorotate) 120mg. Marketing scam, since your brands have 5mg and SAY SO.

Since I started l.o. in February I feel very balanced. I still get cravings, but my brain allows me to think of consequences, rather than finding a quick fix. I have stopped the antabuse, but would take it if I feel wobbly.

I have found the l.o. to be a great help, and have found that I don't have bad dreams anymore and haven't had a drink since I started it, although I was AF for a while before.

I am taking 2 tabs of advanced research l.o., plus 750 of gaba slow release every p.m. and 1 tab of l.o. and the gaba in the a.m. I feel great.

Thanks Beatle!!:h

Hi Skendall. Its good to hear that someone else is doing well on LO. I haven't had a drink yet since I started it either(61 days). You mentioned that you are still getting a few cravings. Do you know that its ok to go up to 30mg a day?-thats 6 tablets. I have been taking 4-6 tablets a day now for over a month and the increased dose really helps.2 tablets didn't quite hit the spot for me. Like yourself I have antabuse on standby for high risk situations. I used Baclofen 20mg a day too for a little while but I have stopped that now.I have some left in case I have a really bad day and need it.I found it useful to take 3-4 hours before witching hour.
