CeremonyNewOrder Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I had GI problems on IR but that went away when I was switched to ER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikl_pls Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was about to say I think I read something about lithium causing different GI problems between the IR and ER versions. Where IR can cause acid reflux, ER can cause diarrhea, but I guess you have to chose the least bad... But maybe you'll luck out and not have any GI problems on the ER version.

CeremonyNewOrder Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I get diarrhea from the ER but not bloating or pain. Much better than feeling like throwing up on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
