> >I'm bi-polar2, diagnosed by several pdocs on Effexor and Trileptal. I started lithium orotate 5 weeks ago and got very rapid relief from a resistant depression. I'm taking 2/ 140mg tabs 3 times a day. I'm using the brand sold by life's vigor. Great results so far at $12.00 a month for therapy.

However, I also found the identical formula for a fraction of the price ($39.99 for 90 tabs vs $12.00 for 200 tabs.) The brand name is Advanced Research, NCI Dr. Hans Nieper Products and I got it at www.lifesvigor.com. You can also find it a few other places if you look, but they had the best price. I also just ordered a bottle of lithium orotate from http://www.arrowheadhealthworks.com to compare ingredients, as they say they have the only "true" Dr. Nieper formula.

No rages, no irrational thinking, no bizarre fears, no obsessions, no non-stop manic binges.... We now have a sweet and happy, very normal daughter again. It's hard for us to believe something so simple and so inexpensive could have such dramatic results after everything we've been though. But amazingly, it really seems to work.

She also gave me the number of her doctor to talk to about it if I wanted to call him. She said he has been really impressed with it and would be happy to talk to me. I also emailed a few people who I had seen mention lithium orotate (as Serenity) in different newsgroups, to ask them if they had tried it and if so, what their experience with it was. Here is one email I got back:

No side effects of any kind, no liver concerns or having to get your blood tested or any of that, no 'drugged-up' feeling, just real results. Wow. We finally found something that actually works.

I've taken LO for a couple of months, and love it (still adjusting the dosage.) Also had prescribed sleeping pill AMBien, I think there is some kind of interreaction, I felt like I was hit by a Mac truck in the morning. I stopped the AMbien, but am continuing the LO.
Anyone else have similar results?
Jim

The problem with this particular study is they manipulated quite a number of variables at the same time. That makes any conclusion about the utility of lithium orotate a matter of conjecture.
You might want to look at this thread:

On giving it a quick scan, I see I got away with the inadvertent use of bad language. My bad.
