In reply to Inositol for bi-polar depression, posted by mommyron on February 12, 2010, at 14:31:22
I would go to the alternative board. Dr. Bob may redirect you there anyway.
Inositol probably won't help much. That is my guess at least. Lithium orotate or aspartate or the combination of both may help though.
Are you trying to avoid seeking help from a psychiatrist and taking pharmaceuticals? You do know that lithium in any form is not really a pharmaceutical that was synthetically derived by a pharmaceutical company. One formulation called Lithobid is an extended release version of lithium carbonate, I'm going to start taking a low dose of this as an adjunct to my antideressant for my bipolar depression. I am going also to try lithium aspartate as I have heard it may increase serotonin a bit more than the orotate form. Not sure if this is true or not. Anyway, low doses of lithium can help with bipolar or other forms of depression. I like the idea of taking a low dose of Lithobid because it is extended release.
