# UNSTABILIZED SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS NOT HELPED. Augmenting a fluphenazine
decanoate regimen with lithium does not reliably relieve psychosis in
patients with schizophrenia. http://psychiatry.medscape.com/5538.rhtml

"Sultry it was and humid, but no whisper of air caused the plump, laden
spears of golden grain to nod their burdened heads as they unheedingly

story takes place, it looks godawful like it." --Judy Frazier
