Andy, BP and schitzophrenia both? I know a lot of the symptoms over lap, but wouldn't you be schitzoaffective? I had a friend who had schitzophrenia, then he got MS. I felt he had been dealt a hard hand. Luckily, he did not seemed bothered by the MS. He stumbled a bit and had balance problems, but he just kept motoring along.
At any rate welcome to the forum, it is going to be great having you here, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
