Thank you, Mitch.
You are so kind to keep hammering away with this lithium dilemma of mine. (Especially when my thinking/comprehension is a bit deminished.) I concur that it is "microencapsulated". It looks the same all the way through the pill.
Thanks for putting my fears to rest.
A most appreciative ChloeBTW, is Paxil grape flavored? No kid I know would drink my liquid Celexa. It's not bad, but it's certainaly not good tasting!! IMHO "-)

Otherwise, they woudn't have scored the tablets. So, just go ahead and quarter them without worry! Liquid medication has its drawbacks-I had a jug of liquid Paxil in the fridge (when I was trying it), and it worried me that some kid would get in there and drink it.
