The literature is very confusing about this fact. It seems most people are doing better on slow release forms, but a minority seems to do better on immediate release forms. An if you are having problems during an established lithium therapy you should probably change the form of preparation (M. Schou). An whats going on with rest ? Aspartate in my example is an amino acid. Sulfate for example is used in sodium sulfate against constipation. Carbonat in several salts against too much acid in the stomach. What the hell (sorry) the docs are saying it doesnt matter - thats rubish. I am a pharmacist myself and I am sure there are longterm effects on the metabolism if you are taking such huge doses of the salt during months and years.
