I am taking the IR lithium carbonate. 300 mg/day - as 150 mg b.i.d.More recently, doctors are going with taking lithium all at once at bedtime. It is thought that this help reduce the load on the kidneys. If this is true, I would use the IR lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). There is quite a bit of literature backing this up.
As far as my b.i.d. dosing is concerned, I don't want the lithium blood level to peak too high after taking it. Right now, the bullseye has been hit. I might as well avoid rocking the boat.
