Default Lithium Orotate supplement

Has anyone tried this?

It was recommended to me by one of my husband's friends, who is a doctor (internal medicine specialist). But I've never heard of this supplement ever before.

2002 - hit my head on a washer door while doing laundry. Recovered in 24 hours (was 7 months pregnant at that time)
2005 (maybe 2006) - kitchen cabinet (it took me ~ 1 week to recover)
2009 - refrigerator shelf, recovered in 1 month
summer, 2011 - metal rail, the life-changing concussion. Black out for ~10 minutes, spent ~2weeks in bed (wasn't able to even use a bathroom by myself). Made a complete recovery in 2 months.
October, 2011 - washer door again. Recovered in 1 months.
March, 2012 - kitchen cabinet again. Suicidal depression. Was diagnosed with OCD. Severe anxiety. Was completely recovered in 4 months, celexa is a magical pill.

After that I managed to go almost 1.5 years without a concussion! Was at a completely symptom-free stage, started volunteering at my kids' school again. I was living a happy life. Then,

August, 2013 - fell down the stairs, broke my ankle badly (my surgeon said that he literally has never seen anything that bad ever before and he's been practicing for more than 20 years).
September, 2013 - my son was hugging me and we bumped into each other. Result - complete return of all of my symptoms., no improvement with time. Severe depression again.

7/7/2014 - hit my self on a metal shelf again while trying to clean.


I'm not clumsy. It's just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies and the wall gets in the way.

I read somewhere that lithium orotate may be used for depression. It is not available in Canada, or at least was not when I looked into it.

Wikipedia lists it as a dietary supplement used in small doses to treat certain medical conditions such as stressed, bipolar disorder, depression and PTSD and a few other things listed again its listed as a dietary supplement not a medication. There is an actual medication lithium also used years ago for depression. I do not know how often or if it still used.

This Lithium Orotate
“I have been to see my GP today who is also an amazing homeopathic doctor. Alzheimer's runs in my family and I asked my GP what I can do to protect myself from this awful disease she mentioned this Lithium Orotate (LO).-as well as green tea , coq10, apples and apple juice, cayenne, turmeric, and cumin.”
