I believe that it is the biggest dose of Lithium, twice what DrSkipper takes. No wonder you need to space it - it is a lot of Lithium.

Without insurance, long acting Lithium is 8 times more expensive. So it is worth it if you are nauseous or something like that. If you tolerate regular Lithium all right, you do not need to upgrade.

If you have insurance, however, why not take Lithobid (the name of the long acting Lithium)?
