Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ever since I was an infant, I have never been able to sleep normally. I have chronic severe insomnia that can't be solved by not drinking caffeine, taking melatonin or any of the regular sleep-hygiene practices. I've tried many prescription sleeping pills but they all made me feel woozy and depressed and I started getting bladder infections when taking them, which stopped once I stopped taking them, so I think those sleeping medications were stressing my urinary tract system. For years I've tried to manage my insomnia by turning down the lights an hour before bed, taking Seriphos at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm to stop me from having a cortisol surge 6 hours after each of those doses (which is helpful, by the way), taking 10 mg time-release melatonin, GABA, Tryptophan, lemon balm, magnesium, etc. I would still often lie awake all night long, or get just 4 hours of sleep. I've been like a zombie, and constantly ill and miserable for most of my life because of my inability to sleep. Then my doctor suggested that I take lithium orotate. I said "But I don't have bipolar disorder or chemical depression. If I could just sleep at night, I'd be perfectly happy." He said lithium orotate is completely different from the prescription lithium given to people with chemical imbalances and that anyone can take it without a prescription. The first night I took it, I slept more deeply than I can remember having slept in my entire life. When I was on hardcore sleeping medications I would spend most of the night unconscious (until I woke at 2am and had to take a 2nd dose), but the sleep didn't feel anywhere near as restful and wholesome as the sleep I enjoy when I take lithium orotate. I think this gets me into a deep sleep phase every time I take it. I still take GABA, tryptophan, melatonin, and a loading dose of Seriphos, and I still wake up around 2am and take a second lithium orotate with more GABA, melatonin and tryptophan, and I still lie awake for 30-60 minutes before I conk out again--but that is heaven compared to what I used to deal with. I've read that lithium orotate helps enhance the re-uptake of neurotransmitters that are increased by taking GABA etc, so I find it helpful to take them all together. You can see from the number of natural supplements I take in order to sleep, and the fact that I have to take it once at the beginning of the night and then again in the middle of the night when I wake up, just how severe my insomnia is. But despite that long list of pills, I was barely sleeping before I started taking lithium orotate. This product is an absolute godsend!!!!!!!! After 35 years of suffering (I'm 35 years old), about ten years ago I lost hope of ever having a normal life. I thought I would never find a mate, because who wants to deal with someone who is always stumbling around exhausted? I thought I would always be poor, because I've been unable to work full-time in positions that require good memory and focus. Due to my insomnia, I've only been able to hold down low-paying part-time jobs. I thought I would never have children, because how could I care for a baby or deal with it waking up during the night, if I can barely sleep and would have no hope of falling asleep again after getting up to feed it? All the major milestones and activities people engage in to sustain themselves and live a full life were closed to me. I also thought I would get cancer and heart disease and die young, which is what doctors say lies in store for people who have a long-term running sleep deficit due to chronic, severe insomnia. All of that changed when I started taking lithium orotate. Now I have the energy to have a life partner, a career, and children, and all I had to do this whole time was buy a $14 bottle of pills that doesn't even require a prescription!I wish I had learned about this decades ago! Please, if you know anyone who suffers from chronic severe insomnia like I do, tell them to try lithium orotate! No one should have to suffer the way I have suffered, especially not when the cure is probably as cheap and simple as taking this product. I send my best wishes to all of you for your health and happiness. I hope this product works as well for you as it has for me. And sweet dreams...
