Inositol and Lithium Orotate, a caution.
Inositol counteracts part of lithium's proposed mechanism by replenishing the inositol pool that lithium depletes, which may blunt lithium's mood-stabilizing effect when the two are used together.

Caution
What is happening. Inositol counteracts part of lithium's proposed mechanism by replenishing the inositol pool that lithium depletes, which may blunt lithium's mood-stabilizing effect when the two are used together.
Mechanism. Lithium inhibits inositol monophosphatase and lowers intracellular inositol (the inositol-depletion hypothesis); supplemental inositol can replenish this pool and may pharmacodynamically oppose lithium's effect.
Recommendation. Be cautious combining the two if lithium is being used for mood stabilization. Discuss with a clinician, since high-dose inositol may oppose lithium's intended action.
