Therefore, he shows himself more (both quantitatively and qualitatively) in the lives of people who are having fun and feeling good, and you never feel as good as you do while manic. It is easier to be spiritual or religious when you are experiencing the presence of God.

Neither would God I'm afraid. It's understandable, but it is sad that he is not there for you when you need him the most.

I think that Gabitril-induced untoward psychiatric reactions are idiosyncratic, but occur in a sizeable minority of people - very much like allergies to peanuts.The magnitude of the pharmacological actions of Hemlock are likely to be dose-dependent. However, death doesn't require very much of it.
