Lithium extended release vs reg. lithium
 

I've been googling this, this morning but havent gotten much of an answer yet.

I assume extended release of most drugs is more expensive since my extended release seroquel was a lot more...is this true across the board.

Is it worth it? I guess since it's released more evenly some of the side effects will be muted.

Has anyone gone from reg. released to extended release on lithium.

Thanks

Hi,
All forms of lithium are in generic. They should be dirt cheap -- but that will depend on your insurance company.

Crazy meds.us has good information most of the time:

the lithium and seroquel were to help with your mania....the seroquel is approved as an add on treatment for depression when regular anti depressants don't work. it also helps with anxiety.what has helped you out of the depression before?
