Old School,
Lithobid, the pink enteric coated pills, gave me a nasty, pasty taste in my mouth. So my pdoc switched me to the Eskilith Controlled Release which gives me totally different side effects than the Lithobid. It's still released slowly throughout the day, but it's a different form (hard yellow pill that comes in scored 450 mg pills). And I like it better. You may find you also don't get the blurry vision. Who knows?

I found lithobid alot like a "drug". I had dry mouth, constipation (seems impossible on Lithium!). On the Esklith CR, I feel much better. No dry mouth or constipation or anything but a little polyuria, for which lithium is so famous!

So you might want to switching brands of Lithium before you throw the whole drug in the trash heap. The brands really very for my experience.

Just an FYI!
Take care,
Chloe
