In reply to Lithium Orotate for depression? Anyone using this, posted by BetweenDreams81 on September 18, 2010, at 5:05:10
The Lithium you get from the doctor is just a mineral salt. They have time-release versions that give you a steadier-state of the mineral in your blood.
That said, minerals in general seem to be calming and grounding. Assuming your main symptoms are depression, there is a Chinese herbal formula that I know of that combines depression fighting herbs with minerals (from fossilized bones, oyster shell) that help calm. The main minerals would be calcium and magnesium. I find magnesium to be indispensable for both energy and calming the nerves. I take it at night
(and during the day) and it helps give me a sound sleep.Let me know if you're interested in more specifics.
