This is an old post Scott but I'm wondering if you stuck with lithobid of went back to IR?

I have been trying lithobid in place of IR for a few days to see if it resolves some stomach issues. So far it seems to have me in a good place mentally. I see my doctor today to discuss.

Also what generic brand do you take? I had good success w Roxane brand back in 2010/2011 and noticed more side effects when my pharmacy switched to Glenmark. But then I stopped taking lithium anyway. In 2015 I was put back on it again w Glenmark (same pharmacy). I'm wondering if perhaps I should seek out th older Roxane brand generic.

Thanks for discussion.
