Hi, Dogodlvr.

Did your psychiatrist really suggest this????
It sounds strange to me and I am confused by the question.

I wouldn't take it.
There is no way to know what is in any given pill.
The stuff you buy via prescription has pretty close to what it is supposed to have.

Also, does one still take blood tests while on this?

Do you have good medical insurance?
If not, there are some mood stabilzers that are generic and cheap.
