Extended Release Lithium Works Better

We were right about needing the extended release Lithium, and Caroline is getting through the afternoon and evening much more smoothly since switching. This is good because the afternoon and evening are when everyone is trying to do homework, get ready for some activity, etc., and having a hypomanic Caroline isn't helpful. She has her first basketball game this Friday, and is pretty excited.

    That is awesome news! My little Elijah has done much better on the Lithium Carbonate ER (brand name Eskalith CR, but he gets the generic) then he did on the regular Lithium.

    Isn't it great when you figure out that something small can make such a big difference?
