Have you had your kidney function checked recently. Lithium can cause kidney problems besides cystitis so I would make sure your BUN and creatinine are WNL (within normal limits)just to make sure everything with your kidneys are normal.

Since you have been on lithium as long as you have I would think you have had these tests done yearly anyway, right?

I wouldn't mess around by assuming it is a cystitis becasue it could be something else.
Recurrent urinary infections are something to be worked up by a urologist with blood tests and other tests, when necessary.
