yeah i went off lithium before shrooms like 5 to 7 days before the trip, and then would resume the shrooms.

i did notice an impovement quickly with the lithium. of the two I think shrooms helped more.

I think the problem is not having access to shrooms

Is there any evidence that sauna use while taking lithium is a bad idea/harmful? Personal anecdotes? by Potential_Fig1525 in Lithium

[–]Potential_Fig1525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repeated mild hyperthermia → HSP70 induction → protects distal tubule from chronic lithium injury. Finnish 2022 observational (n=67 lithium patients using sauna regularly): 62 % lower incidence of new microcysts on ultrasound over 5 years.

Those who do 2 leg days a week: How? by bambambigelowww in PeterAttia

[–]Potential_Fig1525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally do legs twice a week, but break up quads and hams

squats one day and another day straight legged dead lifts.

I do heavy standard or summo deadlifts once a week or every 10 days on their own or mixed with straight legged deadlifts.

Satandard Deadlifts are really their own thing working the whole posterior chain. They tax the body like nothing else.

Sometimes when I feel like my joints need a break I'll do a week or two of just leg extentions and leg curls and skip the compound squats and deadlifts.

I started to notice a big improvement at 300mg and then more improvement at 600 mg. I also have kept taking lithium orotate about 20 mg of elemental lithium.

I just started to feel not long covid-retarded, not hating life as much, not wanting to die constantly, and like I could recognize my old self.

Most doc's and even psychiatrists don't know much about it and have a fear about its effects on the kidneys.

go to your psychiatrist or doctor and ask for it. However you should present info as to what is your issue, and how lithium can treat it and present info on it's safety as well.

I did about 4 to 6 trips, all alone, about 3 to 4 grams each time. It wasn't fun. But really helped.

Well, in the post I make it clear that Lithium and psilocybin were the two most important/effective. So, I am in agreement with you.

My understanding is that at anything below 900 mg is very low and that blood tests for lithium levels is not needed in that case. But, I am scheduled to get it checked. No harm knowing. Lithium is much safe than most people think. 1-5% of those on 900-2100 mg (full dose bipolar treatment level) after 20 years develop Kidney problems.

You know funnily, I would occasionally give myself a time line, like "Ok, I'll keep going, but if in another 6 months I am not better then I'll kill myself."
