[TL500]

Does anyone know or have experience please? Thanksyoutu.be/jw-CrAR5E7M(Not working as expected?)

You can have lithium levels in hair tested. I have NONE. I take 20 mg Lithium Orotate every day per Dr. Mischley's recommendations. It does help with anxiety.

[TL500 in reply to NRyan]

Thanks. Is it 20mg elemental lithium?

[Bolt_Upright]

I take 15 mg a day per the low dose in the trial:

It seems low dose lithium may be neuroprotective:

beware hyperparathyroidism, even though it was low dose lithium, that Dr. Mischley recommended, my endocrinologist took me off it because of high PTH levels in blood

[Fumaniron in reply to Jmellano]

did you have low vitamin D? I believe that may also be a factor with high PTH. also, Dr Mischley recommends baseline hair sample and ideally every 1-2 yr re-check until levels stable. She notes that in some, depending on your geographical area, you may not need to supplement it

[TL500 in reply to Fumaniron]

Can you tell me what do you mean by depending on your geographical area you may not need to supplement what ? Vitamin D or lithium? Thanks

[Jmellano in reply to TL500]

parathyroid hormone level in blood, if high and calcium is high u could have hyperparathyroidism . mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

[TL500 in reply to Jmellano]

Is hyperparathyroidism same as hyperactive thyroid?

[Jmellano in reply to TL500]

no, the parathyroids are different than the thyroid

[TL500 in reply to Jmellano]

How much elemental lithium orotate did you take?

[Jmellano in reply to TL500]

I don’t recall

[TL500 in reply to Jmellano]

That's ok

I have risk factors for hyperpara (my sister had it, i have osteoporosis and radiation t o head/neck) and I Thought if i had hyperpara, that might be related to my extreme fatigue. My D levels flucuate from 50-70, I know dr. M likes to keep D levels high (60-70), so I take 5000 IU's several times/week. I decided not to get surgery for hyperpara since I am borderline. My calcium levels aare high normal.

[TL500 in reply to Jmellano]

Is your calcium level high normal fixing the osteoporosis? Like improve your bone density?

[Jmellano in reply to TL500]

unfortunately Medicare has certain guidelines for reimbursement for how often one can get another dexascan

[TL500 in reply to Jmellano]

Ok

[TL500 in reply to Jmellano]

Hi,

I’ve bought lithium orotate but am hesitant of taking it because of the interactions with PD medications.

I don’t know how cautious one have to be. The interactions may be with other forms of lithium and at higher doses.

Safinamide (like Xadago) may lead to serotonin syndrome.

Entecspone, pramipexole and safinamide together with Lithium  may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

I talked to my neurologist who was sceptic (surprice) but didn’t know much about lithium orotate.

How cautious do you think one should be with combining Lithium orotate with PD medication?

All the best
