Very interesting article but the problem with lithium is it's a sodium chemical and that would drive someone's Tinnitus through the roof as most doctors recommend low sodium diet for T sufferers.

Has anyone tried Lithium Orotate as a treatment? Seems to have many benefits with little side effects.

er, this isn't correct. Lithium is not sodium. Lithium displaces sodium. If anything, lithium supplementation will decrease intercellular sodium.
