Negative and mixed experiences
“I'm dumber than ever on lithium... Lithium is either interphering with my Adderall or the cognitive dampening is cancelling out the focus and alertness benefits.”
“Lithium was the only supplement that I took that produced almost the exact depressive results you describe with AlphaGPC.”
“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).”
“was put on Lithium which helped tremendously, but then started to give me really strange side effects (tremors, RLS, neck twitching, migraines), so I had to stop”
“Lithium has been the opposite of a social lubricant for me. It makes me anxious and sad.”
