I remember being told by a psychiatrist several years ago that lithium could be helpful in some cases of alcoholism. He also wanted me to take it for my problems with depression, saying it could help with that. I didn't try it in the end, due to the need to have your blood levels monitored frequently, but I read elsewhere that a few doctors considered it helpful for drinking problems. It could be worth trying. I must admit that the potential side effects of lithium had also scared me off trying it at the time, but many people with bipolar disorder would take it daily.

Lithium (Orotate)

Info on lithium orotate. Drinking too much reduces your lithium levels so you can supplement it with this. Seems to work and much safer than Lithium carbonate which is quite dangerous and only given in a hospital setting.

I'd agree that the OP must have been talking about lithium orotate, since lithium carbonate is given in doses way larger than the 5 mg that was mentioned.

Fascinating about lithium being a trace mineral Otter. Are bipolar patients treated with Lith-O or Lith-C? Seems like the drug companies would make money with C, thus, maybe it's C. All docs seem to know is what drug companies teach them, sometimes, no offence.

There is a lot of info in the "Holistic Healing" section on lithium orotate (mostly in my posts). It is considered a supplement and sold OTC (no prescription).

It requires very low levels to achieve results, is non-addictive, non-tolerance-creating, and no side effects. Fairly cheap, too.

It is part of the "Seven Weeks to Sobriety" nutritional/supplements healing program. She explains it well in the book.

I have used LO for years at night for sleeping issues. It has a moderate, but definite, calming effect for me.

Some people on the other forums have reported complete reversal of bipolar with LO; one person said her husband had tried everything known for his bipolar, both chemical and natural, and the LO was the only thing that worked.

I'd just like to point out that it is non-prescription and natural. Not an iota of an inkling of a possibility for profit by drug companies. And most doctors probably don't even know about it.

Doctors treat with lithium carbonate. Lithium orotate is a recent thing. Hospital patients are treated with masive doses of lithium carbonate which are near lethal and make them shake. It is awful to see and the patients hate it and beg to get off it.

Lithium orotate is natural, safe and inexpensive and has no side effects, much like Baclofen. Hmmm....
