>i take it as a mood stabilizer and i do think for mild schitzo. i never thought of what happens to me being due to schitzo but i think it is as i really sit back and think about it. my mind is much clearer now and things of my past are clicking. I love the stuff. i would fight tooth and nail with the pdoc if he wanted to take it away. even with having some sleep problems i still love it. and i deffinatly need my sleep.
ps: i hope that question was for me? :)
