I suppose you could try trazodone while you wait!

I want to be blown out of my mind by antidepressant efficiacy.
I dont want to be normal. What kind of a goal is "normal".
Id prefer normal over the state im currently in but "normal" is not my goal. My goal is "well" and "good".

Normal is what most people are. Being truly better than normal on a long term basis generally needs the right life circumstances.
Any drug which 'blows you away' and makes you feel better than normal is likely to be bad news. What goes up will come down.

Compared to me normal people are hypomanic.

lets replace normal with healthy and lively.
For me normal equals sh*t. Because normal for me is not what normal means to healthy people.

Do you really think that mental health is "normal"?
I dont.
Psychiatry is over glorifying "normal".

Besides the goal of therapy is being euthymic. "Reasonably positive mood". Not reasonably negative.

So, you want to be other people's normal?
Not sure I've ever been quite normal.

I think it's something that happens in stages. Through better health, better life situation, friends, circumstances, work etc.

Hi Lam,
So what do you notice from lithium orotate? And have you tried a variety of doses?

It sounds like the effect would be similar to taking a micro-dose of lithium carbonate eg. 100mg/day or less.

Yes, that is my experience.
I think people should be on this low dose much more often as i bet im not the only one who gets this effect.

I think that Lithium Orotate is better at the low dose but maybe thats just me buying into the commercials.

I have a feeling there wouldn't be much difference, provided that lithium carbonate was given at a dose containing a comparable amount of lithium, which it rarely is.
Interesting. It reminds of of all the studies suggesting that areas with more lithium naturally present in the water supply have lower rates of suicide and violent crime than areas where there is almost no lithium in the water.
.....there isn't a lot of lithium in any water supply, just tiny quantities. It's interesting to see that it might make a difference. If that is the case, low doses of lithium orotate may indeed make sense.

It has a nice muting effect on those bad thoughts. And possibly actions, too. According to the studies.
