1. Risperdol
It would help his psychotic tendencies.

12. He not only exhibits all the symptoms that risperdal
is supposed to treat, but he also has all the side effects that risperdal causes.

Good call.

20. Hmmmm bedwetting, animal torture and....
(frogs and firecrackers) as well as fire starting are the triad of symtpoms for most serial killers.

I wonder if Dimson can be trusted around a pack of matches. :shrug:

Yeah, you may be right.

I'd prescribe a glass of warm milk and a nice nap.

I don't think he's on it, though. He's not in touch with reality enough.

11. Hmmm, half the ideas Ive thought up would get me banned,
and the SS at my door.

How about super-laxatives?
Viagra?

16. I agree
Knew someone else on it. They acted a bit more peaceful and didn't run their mouth as much.

19. Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Chlorpromazine, Navane, Trilafon, Haldol...
Any cocktail of antipsychotics may or may not help.

Whatever they give to mental patients in asylums who were sent there because they think God talks to them... and one of those nutcases is running this country.

21. Risperdal, Wellbutrin, Ativan
This would appear to be sufficient to treat the primary symptoms.

Then a program of behaviour modification, group therapy, and a "level system" in a locked ward for a period of a couple of months, followed by a halfway house group living situation with life skills training.

25. Nope... Bad consequences...
When an alcoholic who has been dry a while goes back on, he starts feeling really good and might take rash actions...

28. You're right. But I suggest a 12 step program too.
We could do a full length documentary on his making amends.

23. Rehab/cold turkey
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 09:00 PM by The Flaming Red Head
I'd get him off what ever he's been on for the past three and half years.

Judging from the sweating, trembling, the fumbling of words, the glow in his eyes and the way every hair stands on end during interviews, I'd have to say cocaine and the good stuff too. You know he's got all the connections.

24. Staye with the tried and true
Cocaine and alcohol. We know he likes them so he'd definitely stay on the script. Hey, how long could a guy his age last with all the coke and JD he could drink every day ?

43. Abilify, Prolixin and Lithium
Prolixin is given by weekly injection so his compliance would not be a factor. At least there would be no worry in that department. The other meds he would have to take on his own so there would always be concern as to whether or not he was taking them but at least we'd know one of them was getting into him....
