What people say about Lithium and mood
“Lithium was the only supplement that I took that produced almost the exact depressive results you describe with AlphaGPC.”
“I personally used 2 - 5mg elemental lithium about twice a week ... improvement in cognitive and mood stabilization.”
“When I take 5mg of lithium orotate it gives me a feeling of apathy, but reduces my ability to experience pleasure (what is called anhedonia).”
“For my BP2 I'm taking lithium and effexor and I've never felt more stable in my life.”
