I never suggested doing a trial on anti-cannibalism drugs as some of you seem to have interpreted. What I mean is the following: can non-psychiatric behavioural conditions be treated with drugs? Consider fow example the following:
o) SSRI's lower libido in many patients. Could SSRI's be used in theory to treat rapists and paedophiles(*)?
o) Some websites claim that SSRI's and Wellbutrin may be useful in treating back pain. Could these drugs also be used to treat mild aches and pains associated with hypochondriases?
o) Could mood-stabilisers, antipsychotics, or whatever drugs which have anti-aggression properties, be used to treat psychopaths who have a tendency for committing violent crimes?
Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere, so just forget it. Now of course that's not true, some of you have offered interesting analysis and all, but since quitting Vitamin Z(**) my rejection over-sensitivity has returned, viz. I feel affronted by some of your posts, and I just don't have the psychic energy to engage in these sorts of discussions anymore.
