Article Abstract

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

The one caveat we would add is that dosing practices that may be well tolerated in acutely manic, hospitalized patients may be less well tolerated in less severely ill outpatients, likely consequent to lower levels of increased activation.’ ‹’ ‹
