Has anyone experienced strong long lasting withdrawal symptoms after taking lithium orotate? I started using it in December and worked my dose up to 20mg (elemental lithium). I experienced some benefits from taking this supplement that were accompanied with a brain fog. I read that cognitive decline is normal at the beginning of taking lithium and it should diminish/pass over time.
I took 5mg for two weeks, then 10mg for another two weeks, then 20mg for yet another two weeks. At that point brain fog was severe so I lowered the dose to 10mg, then to 5mg, then I stopped taking the supplement altogether. Unfortunately the brain fog didn't go away after discontinuation in fact I think it increased. It' been a month since I stopped taking lithium orotate and I still experience heavy brain fog felt most strongly in the evenings . At first I thought it was a simple withdrawal that will pass quickly but now I am getting scared. As I said it's already been a month and the brain fog is still there.
Will this ever go away or is my brain fu**ed up permanently?
