Lithium Orotate (Natural Supplement) for Fluctuating Tinnitus, Mood Swings, Depression, and Anxiety?

[Jcmc]

I found this series of schematics:

Lithium's Mechanism of Action: An Illustrated Review

Lithium also might help hydrops:

Effects of Lithium on Endolymph Homeostasis and Experimentally Induced Endolymphatic Hydrops

Which does make it seem like it might be helpful but I'm not sure if a) they understand all the effects of lithium yet and if b) the neurotransmitters in the cochlea itself are affected to any great degree (I can't find any information anywhere on that).

I would absolutely ask your neurologist specifically about this, though.

My doctor prescribed Lithium to me.

I really need to try something that works for my brain.

Does anyone here have experience using Lithium Orotate while polydrugged? I am on Fluvoxamine, Pregabalin and Diazepam (tapering the last one) and I wonder if it's a bad idea due to some interaction.

Can it act on serotonin? Because I am almost sure that my tinnitus was caused by antidepressants.

I am considering it to protect me against glutamate excitotoxicity during my benzo taper.

@JasonP, do you use any other meds?
