Not yet. It is, for now, only speculation on my part.

I don't know how oratate and carbonate compare, but carbonate works and is dirt cheap. I have been using straight LiCO2. I might change over to sustained release. My guess is that peak plasma levels with sustained release are lower than with immediate release. Perhaps this will help mitigate the toxic side effects of lithium, including thyroid and kidney damage.
