It is well known that antidepressants such as Prozac and Paxil can prompt intense manias in adults with bipolar disorder, when given without mood stabilizing drugs.

Which other antidepressants flick the mania switch?

Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) is a mood disorder that involves episodes of both manic highs and seriously low mood swings, (And then back again) with periods of normalcy in between. The third most common mood disorder (after major depression and dysthymic disorder) manic-depression is often severe and life threatening. It affects about 1% of adults during their lifetime. Symptoms of manic depression typically begin during adolescence or early adulthood, and continue to recur throughout life. Men and women are equally likely to develop this disabling illness. Manic depression is often complicated by co-occurring alcohol or substance abuse. Without effective treatment, bipolar illness leads to suicide in nearly 20% of cases.

Lithium is the most effective element used for stabilizing mood swings for those with manic (bipolar) depression. Lithium orotate, a natural lithium salt of orotic acid, is 20 times more bio-active than other lithium salts and allows a reduction in dosage as well as the likelihood of potential side effects associated with prescription lithium. HBC's  Symmetry is the first ever homeopathic Lithium Orotate homeopathic spray formulation. Synergistically combined  with both GABA and Albumin, Symmetry is designed to help you instantly achieve therapeutic brain lithium concentrations while supporting balanced brain function, especially during episodes of anxiety, stress, depression.

JAMA (The Journal of American Medical Association--Click here to read full study) Lithium, an inexpensive drug for bipolar disorder. Lithium is one of the most common elements used for stabilizing mood swings, mania and depression. Lithium orotate is a highly bioavailable form of lithium that is available without a prescription. Because of its superior bioavailability, (20 times more bio-active than other lithium salts) lower doses of lithium orotate (Rather than lithium carbonate or lithium citrate) may be used to achieve therapeutic brain lithium concentrations and relatively stable serum concentrations. (1,2) while greatly reducing the likelihood and severity of potential side effects

Lithium orotate has also been demonstrated to be of benefit in the treatment of alcoholics, and proved useful in alleviating alcohol-related symptoms of liver dysfunction, seizure disorders, headaches, hyperthyroidism, affective disorders. (3) Meniere’s syndrome, and liver and lung cancers. If you cannot tolerate higher doses of lithium due to side effects you might try replacing it with lithium orotate. It requires no blood tests and side effects are pretty much non-existent. It is non-prescription and even at lower doses is just as effective as much higher doses of the prescription forms of lithium.

Standard dose is 2-6 sprays per day or as directed by your physician.
