90% improvement with lithium carbonate 450 mg

[Determined-Mind]

On this same forum there are reports of improvement (even cure) with both lithium carbonate and lithium orodate (although the doses were between 10 and 20 mg for the latter).

Personally, I've been aggravated by flibanserin, a pro-libido, pro-pleasure and pro-orgasm drug - in some women.

There's no one treatment that works for everyone. What may be beneficial for one person may produce the opposite for another.

The effects of drugs depend on the specific biological context of each brain. Medicine will make a quantum leap when it can determine which drugs are beneficial for a given brain (perhaps when it considers the subtlety of the symptoms?).

Maybe Lithium Orotate (low dosage) is just enough to raise serotonin (bad for PSSD) but not enough to demethylate, in opposite to higher dosage/lithium carbonate.
But since the beginning I'm so surprised that there is no one with PSSD with Lithium carbonate (for bipolar disorder or cluster headache, depression....).

Thank you for sharing your story.

Can you please clarify a few things.

1) Did you take 450mg Lithium Carbonate while you were using fluvoxamine?
2) You saw orgasm improvements on Day 1 of 450mg Lithium Carbonate? so literally instantly?
3) What turmeric supplement were you taking? Did you do this throughout? When did you come off? What dose did you use?
4) Why did you come off 450mg Lithium Carbonate so soon? How are you planning to get to 100% cured?
5) You said you felt burning. What do you mean?
6) So you recovered everything 90% with 2 months of Lithium?

Thanks again

1) Did you take 450mg Lithium Carbonate while you were using fluvoxamine?

R: No. I stopped Fluvoxamine and after approximately 3 days I lost my erection. I didn't have an erection for 1 month thinking it would go back to normal.

2) You saw orgasm improvements on Day 1 of 450mg Lithium Carbonate? so literally instantly?

R: I've never had a problem with orgasm. My problem has always been erection and premature ejaculation

3) What turmeric supplement were you taking? Did you do this throughout? When did you come off? What dose did you use?

R: For 1 week I took 10g of turmeric with black pepper and lemon juice per day. I took it alone, without lithium. I had an increase in libido and an improvement in my erection in the first 2 days and then I regressed. It didn't hold up. That's when I stopped.

4) Why did you come off 450mg Lithium Carbonate so soon? How are you planning to get to 100% cured?

R: I stopped to test whether the PSSD remission would persist. I also noticed a certain mental agitation taking 450mg of lithium. I intend to recover 100% over time or return to taking lithium in low doses of 75mg for an extended period.

5) You said you felt burning. What do you mean?

R: I felt a little heartburn but nothing that stopped me from continuing.

6) So you recovered everything 90% with 2 months of Lithium?

R: 2 months was the period that I took lithium but I recovered my erection on the first day I took it, being able to have sexual intercourse. My greatest happiness was to remove the lithium and the erection remained.

Just because lithium is a natural element makes me more interested in it.

Could you please link the exact turmeric supplement you used? Are you using any other supplements/vitamins/drugs that has nothing to do with treatment but may be helping


I know you think it didn't help but it may have made lithium work faster?

I used the one sold in supermarkets, similar to ginger.
It is not the one extracted from flowers.

I took absolutely nothing that could help, it was just lithium.
In the past I took lisdexamfetamine 10 mg but it destroyed my erection at that dose, but I have already carried out tests by diluting the lisdexamfetamine tablet in water in a syringe and taking a few drops. It had a positive effect on the intensity of my orgasm without affecting the erection.

Understand how it is worth testing without “fear”. I'm not afraid of regressing, if I fall again, I'll try again.

It seems interesting to associate lithium with turmeric.

I refer to the kind sold in supermarkets in powder form.

I read your first post again and I noticed you said you ran 450mg lithium for 2 months and then started using 75mg

How long did you run 75mg for before stopping completely? thank you. I hope I can cure myself with these findings

3 weeks with 75mg
