> If you look at the PDR and see that the drug could cause;
Which drug?
> A. hallucinations
> B. Suicide thoughts
> C. depression
> D. mania
> E. delusions
> F. euphoria
> G. other related mind-altering statesThese are some of the possible side effects that can occur with the use of many psychiatric and non-psychiatric drugs. They are undesirable, and often indicate that the offending drug be discontinued and replaced with another treatment. What you fail to mention is that these things usually occur in a minority of people. It happens more often that a psychiatric patient glean benefit from drug treatment without the occurrence of the side effects that you have listed here. With further refinement, medical science will produce treatments with greatly reduced liability of producing undesirable psychiatric side effects.
Unfaithful? How do you know?
Is it unfaithful to your god that one take lithium?
If you could produce evidence as to the proscription by your god the use of lithium, I could then respond accordingly.
Thanks.
