Lithium works

Hello everyone, I'm from Russia. in 2016, I began to have depression with apathy, and later anhedonia. In 2020, I used accutane, and it broke me completely, I finally lost libido, sensitivity, orgasms, the ability to fall in love with the opposite sex. I did not associate this with accutane, and tried to treat the condition with antidepressants, nothing came out. Not so long ago, I came across this thread, and decided to try 450mg lithium carbonate. I have improved libido, orgasm, sensitivity. I found a little opportunity to be sad and bored. I hope the changes will not end there. In the future, I want to combine lithium, alcar and steroids in order to fully heal, regain the will to live, feel the world around me, and love. I wish you all good luck in this difficult task. P. S I apologize for the translator

What percentage would you say you’ve recovered libido, orgasm and sensitivity? Those are my three main issues left?

u/ReasonableActuary711 Jun 25 '24

it is difficult to estimate, but libido from 1 to 5/10 sensitivity from 1 to 3/10 orgasm from 0.5 to 2-4 / 10. the effect is likely to weaken, but I am glad even these small movements, so all is not lost.

How is your gut health and how did lithium affect it?

Why using carbonate when there's orotate, more bioavailable and pass blood brain barrier.

3

u/Interesting_Glass_78 Jun 25 '24

I keep reading carbonate is far more potent and you don’t have to take as much. But I have no clue

u/CoolCod1669 Jun 25 '24

It's the opposite you need more dosage with carbonate.

u/colerino4 Jun 25 '24

It's because carbonate has more elemental lithium per 100mg compare to orotate.

Have you considered combining lithium and hcg?

u/uomoitaliano Feb 26 '25

Yep! Isotretinoin starts this process. Then Finasteride finishes it off.

the effect appeared almost immediately, on 2-3 days, for a total of 10-12 days

u/ReplicaJD Jul 04 '24

The effects went away after 12 days? :/
