Οδηγός Μείωσης της Βλάβης για τη Διακοπή των Ψυχιατρικών Φαρμάκων

Ο 40τετρασέλιδος οδηγός του The Icarus Project και του Freedom Center συνοψίζει τις καλύτερες πληροφορίες που βρήκαμε και τα πολυτιμότερα μαθήματα που πήραμε σχετικά με τη μείωση και τη διακοπή των ψυχιατρικών φαρμάκων. Περιλαμβάνει πληροφορίες για τα σταθεροποιητικά της διάθεσης, τα αντιψυχωτικά, τα αγχολυτικά σκευάσματα, τους κινδύνους, τα οφέλη, τα εργαλεία ευεξίας, τη διακοπή των ψυχιατρικών φαρμάκων, πληροφορίες για ανθρώπους που παραμένουν στη φαρμακευτική αγωγή τους, λεπτομερή ενότητα με βιβλιογραφικές πηγές και πολλά ακόμα. Μια προσέγγιση ‘μείωσης της βλάβης’ δεν σημαίνει ότι είσαι υπέρ ή εναντίον της φαρμακευτικής αγωγής, αλλά ότι υποστηρίζεις τους ανθρώπους να παίρνουν τις δικές τους αποφάσεις, βρίσκοντας ισορροπία ανάμεσα στους κινδύνους και τα οφέλη που ενέχονται. Ο οδηγός έχει συγγραφεί από τον Will Hall, με την ερευνητική υποστήριξη ενός 14μελούς Γνωμοδοτικού Συμβουλίου επαγγελματιών και 24 ακόμα συνεργάτες συμμετείχαν στην επεξεργασία και στην επιμέλεια του. Όλος ο οδηγός έχει φωτογραφίες και ζωγραφιές, καθώς και ένα όμορφο πρωτότυπο εξώφυλλο που ζωγράφισε η Ashley McNamara.

Lithium Orotate

My friends mom was on lithium and it helped for many years.  Her health care provider noticed this was damaging her liver. For the past year she has been on and off  different meds. She is not in good shape.  I heard about this other kind of lithium on a radio show, Lithium Orotate. Here is info from a website that describes the stuff like what I heard on the radio. 

Lithium is the most common element used for stabilizing mood swings, mania and depression. Lithium orotate (the lithium salt of orotic acid) is 20 times more bio-active than other lithium salts, allowing a reduction in dosage greatly reducing the likelihood and severity of potential side effects.

Dr. Nieper reported that 5 mg of lithium orotate are closely equivalent to 100 mg of the carbonate form.

The therapeutic dose of lithium orotate for cases of severe depression is 150 mg/day (1-2 tablets), compared to 900-1800 mg of the prescription forms.

Does anyone have experience with using this?  Are there any known side effects? Do you have any other recomendations?

The Icarus Project and Freedom Center's 40-page guide gathers the best information we've come across and the most valuable lessons we've learned about reducing and coming off psychiatric medication. Includes info on mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, risks, benefits, wellness tools, withdrawal, detailed Resource section, information for people staying on their medications, and much more. A 'harm reduction' approach means not being pro- or anti-medication, but supporting people to make their own decisions balancing the risks and benefits involved. Written by Will Hall, with a 14-member health professional Advisory board providing research assistance and 24 other collaborators involved in developing and editing. The guide has photographs and art throughout, and a beautiful original cover painting by Ashley McNamara. Download a .pdf to read or a 'zine version to print and fold into a booklet (instructions included). Published copies also available through orders(at)theicarusproject(dot)net.
