Daily Journal Entry: My Lithium Orotate Microdosing Journey
Today marks the first day of my experiment with lithium orotate, taking a microdose of 1000 micrograms. I’ve been curious about the potential mood-stabilizing benefits and increased mental clarity that some users claim this supplement provides. As I begin this journey, I’m documenting both the positive effects and the side effects I experience along the way.
Morning Reflections
I started my day with my usual morning routine—coffee, a bit of meditation, and then my lithium orotate microdose. Within the first couple of hours, I felt a subtle shift in my mood. There was an almost imperceptible sense of calm, and I noticed that my thoughts were a little clearer. It felt as though a gentle fog had lifted, making it easier to focus on my tasks.
Side Effects Noted
While I’m optimistic about the benefits, I did experience a few mild side effects today:
A slight sensation of dizziness during the mid-morning, which subsided after a short break.
Mild gastrointestinal discomfort later in the day—nothing too alarming, but definitely a note to monitor in the coming days.
A touch of increased thirst, reminding me to stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
These effects were subtle and didn’t significantly disrupt my day, but I plan to keep an eye on them as I continue with this regimen.
Positives Observed
Despite the minor side effects, there were several encouraging positives:
Enhanced Mental Clarity: My thoughts felt more organized, and I was able to focus better on my work and creative projects.
Stable Mood: I experienced a noticeable ease in mood fluctuations, with a calm and balanced feeling throughout the day.
Reduced Anxiety: Moments that might have normally felt overwhelming were met with a surprising sense of composure.
I’m hopeful that these early signs will continue to develop as I refine my dosage and adjust my routine.
Final Thoughts for Today
Overall, today was a promising start to my lithium orotate microdosing experiment. The benefits—especially the improved mental clarity and stable mood—are very encouraging, even though I did experience some minor side effects. I’ll be keeping detailed notes on my daily experience to see how these effects evolve over time. As always, I remind myself that this is a personal experiment, and I’m committed to listening to my body and adjusting as needed.
I’m looking forward to sharing more updates as I continue this journey. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s entry, where I’ll explore whether these initial impressions hold steady or shift with another day of microdosing.
