drugs are sometimes used for all kinds of things - but it was the efficacy studies that i was worried about. or more in particular the absence thereof. it isn't so much about lithium being particularly strong its about the nasty nasty nasty side effects that can result from lithium. typically it is something of a last resort drug for fairly 'organic' looking bi-polar and it is tried when less dangerous options have been exhausted.

i don't really see how pinksoil has a particularly organic presentation...

and i don't see how the less dangerous options have been exhausted...

i do understand the desire to try and instill a little hope... but wtf was he thinking?

no idea.
