To Dr. Bob:
Dr. Bob - I appreciate your website very much - lots of great things exchanged here and good research data I'm sure - seems to me like a lot of bipolar spectrum people (me too?) - are the ones most frequenting your site if you ask me ...
But Dr. Bob - when you see posts about amisulpride and dilantin (not to suggest the safety profiles are similar) - but I mean - as a prescribing psychiatrist - when you see people talking about such drugs for primary sp treatment - and then talking about neurotransmitters in the same sentence....
... well - do you think that people with severe primary SP are doing a wise thing to take their first step in treating Sp by reading such posts here ?

Package inserts aren't "outdated," they just provide data that's been conclusively proven, and sometimes that takes time. In the meantime, the hippocampus theory could go wrong.
