I bought the Lithium Orotate powder last week, and the order came in last night. I bought it thinking it would be a good sleep aid and general nootropic to increase neurological growth and increase tyrosine hydroxylase for the next day. I was wondering what it actually does at the non-bipolar dose. I'm looking for experiments, studies, articles, and of course, personal experience.
Last night I took about 100mg of LiOr (9mg of elemental Li) sublingually around 7pm and felt really fuzzy... relaxed, calm, slow, etc. My hands were really distracting because they kept tingling. I almost fell asleep in my chair, but I was all hyper again in time for The Mentalist come 10pm. Today I had trouble getting out of bed, but I was also up till 11pm, so... you know could be either.
I've been reading up and found that Lithium increase magnesium levels, which I take about 750mg... 250mg in the morning, and 500mg at night to counter excitotoxicity from Dexedrine. Could this be the reason for my strong effects? I already had high magnesium levels to begin with?
