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)?
Thanks for the info. I have no insurance so it would be best for me to stick with regular Lithium Carbonate .
