> I am taking a smidge of Eskilith Controlled Release, 112 mgs am/112 mgs pm. But I am having a *damn* of a time cutting the 450 mg pill into quarters. The pill is scored, so 225 mgs is easy. But cutting it again turns the half into mainly powder.

Hi Chloe,

Oh yes, absolutely take it just once daily if you want to. Lithium has roughly a 24/hr half-life (nearly double that of Depakote and MUCH longer than Neurontin). It is a hassle to have to chop up stuff.
