LITHIUM OROTATE for ADD/ADHD is working for us......
I have never posted before. I have not seen any posts on this subject. But,I am so excited about what I've seen so far I thought maybe someone could benefit from this info....Ihave a 13 year old and a 9 year old with ADD and ADHD respectively. I was diagnosed w/ ADD last year....which explained so much!!! My 13 yr old has been on concerta since 3rd grade and then ritalin SR in 8th(doesn't last her all day ). My 9 yr old son on ritalin(severe ADHD) and zoloft (for extreme anxiety) since 2nd grade. decided to try natural route this summer. Heard, read about Dr. Nieper's research, then tried lithium orotate with the promise of increased concentration, memory and mood stabilization and because it is all natural,non toxic in the OROTATE form ( as opposed to the prescription form). Cannot believe the results!!! My daughter has been on it for a week, saw definite results by day 2 ( no moodines, or mood swings , able to follow through on chores/tasks , her demeaner is calm and can carry on a meaninful conversation, no spacy-ness) she has ben off the ritalin for the same week. I am taking it too and not having to take my ritalin or antidepressant med and I actually FEEL good and am functional and my appetite/cravings are actually controlled. I am going to a naturopath doctor tomorrow to help me with my 9 yr olds dosing. Although I see the positive effects he is getting ,he gets sleepy and nauseated with it. I hope this continues to help us. (I keep feeling like this is too good to be true). I hope this info is helpful to some one out there. will update if anyone is interested. If anyone has experiences with this, please post...... |

Use of Lithtium orotate
We are at our wits' end with our 11 yr old. His Ritalin is not helping him as much as previously and his behavior is becoming increasingly aggressive , noncompliant & self destructive. How can I find dosages for this supplement. We are living in Mexico, & don't have access to naturopaths, but could get the supplement mailed to us. |

Would love to hear if your sons are still taking the lithium orotate. I have heard that it does not cross the blood brain barrier. I have recently started taking it at night and I think it is helping me sleep better and feel calmer during the day (maybe its the placebo effect). What dose are your sons on? I did try my ADHD son on it before and I thought it might be causing him to break out in little bumps/acne all over his body so we stopped. Did you sons have this reaction? I certainly don't want a case of acne at 49! |

This is something I think I would like to try
I am ADD/ADHD type but I haven't been on meds for a year now because I doidn't feel they were doing me any good except for decreasing my appetitie. I have to take Ambien to fall asleep . And I take Fish Oil now . Where do get this Lithium Oronate. I never heard of it. I automatically think of Lithium and thin kof bi-polar and certain dietary food restrictions. What can you tell me about it. And were do I get it???? (Judi N) |

Lithium Orotate
You can buy this at a health food store store or nutritional supplements store. The recommended dosage is one tablet per day, but some people take somewhat more than that. |
