Suggest Antidepressant Without The Side Effect Of Weight Gain And Insomnia

She is 32 and has been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome since 14. Are there some new interventions for treatment that can help with social cues and social anxiety?
Give her spare computer to tinker. And get paid for tinkering. Believe me.
Detailed Answer:
Dear BJ,
1. Prozac can be replaced with either tianeptine or venlafaxine.
2. Antidepressants should not exceed 6 months in treatment.
3. Else it leads to addiction, tolerance and dependence.
4. Asperger's kids are gifted. It is called the Genius Syndrome.
It is on the autistic spectrum. She is autistic.
5. Rather than treat her to suppress her symptoms, I strongly suggest that
she be enrolled in a course, class, or activity where she can use her
mathematical talents. She will make a good engineer.
6. There is a company in the USA called "aspiritech" This company is exclusively
filled with aspergers people, who do software testing. This field in software
requires that your kid, repeatedly perform mathematical tasks. That makes
a great software tester.
7. Now that you have the internet, get her started by asking her to code computer
programs on the internet. I send such people to a nice website called
codeacademy.com It's free and it teaches a person software skills, even if they
have never programmed a computer before. She can also get employed there.
8. The internet has thrown up great opportunities for lifelong employment
for such gifted people.
I know it for a medical scientific fact that she is gifted. IQ > 120
Why do you want to to drug her and make her socially adroit adept and deft?
She is hardly going into a profession that requires great social skill like say,
organizing teams of people to get to work, that's the role of a human resource
professional. Or social adeptness is required if she has to do marketing and sales.
If she can earn a life long livelihood by sitting away in a corner at a computer and
earn a decent income for a middle class XXXXXXX citizen (ref: Payscale.com), It's
a computer that led you to reading this truth, isn't it?
Anyway, since you want to drug her, I'll tell you to drug her with Paxil 10mg
thrice. This is the most powerful drug, it's called Paroxetine and activates those
centers of the brain that are responsible for social interaction.
There is no other social therapy. None. I have 11 years of hardcore experience.
It's all hype. It does not work. Period.
Yes. I almost forgot. Paxil is a black box drug. It is an extremely dangerous FDA
classified substance, it drives it's victims to suicide. There have been a large number of suicides due to Paxil, and that's why the United States Food and Drug Administration classifies it with a Black Box warning. Understood?
Go, ahead, don't listen to what makes sense and what science and medicine have
proven beyond a shadow of doubt, that people with asperger's merely need an
outlet. They need some task that they can be paid a decent salary for. something
that they are brilliant at. More so than you. or me.
You are free to drug her with Paroxetine. Give her 10 mg as a starter dose.
Ah, yes, her excess 30 pounds. Give her topiramate 100mg thrice a day.
She will stop eating, or eat miniscule amounts. Topiramate will paralyze her hunger centers in the brain.
It's been great knowing you, BJ.
In confidence,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
