I don't understand the paranoia over the
black box warning.I'm bipolar.
I have a 1 in 5 chance of commiting suicide
based on statistics for bipolar disorder if I
am not treated correctly.If I take serzone and it cures me and I take it
for 20 years (which is probably long), the risk
of me getting liver disorder is 1 in 12,500.I think that is a good risk/reward scenario.
I'm much more likely to die of a car accident,
suicide, or some other disease than serzone liver
disorder. right?-John
