Diagnosing ‘mental disorders’ is NOT an exact science. That’s what makes it dangerous sometimes. I worked with ‘autistic’ kids in a hospital setting, and the ‘Psychiatrist’ had intense psychotropic ordered for ‘acting out behaviors.’ WBR LeoP

Sceve– to answer your questions:

Klonopin can be considered a sedative (usually people put it in the anxiolytic class, but it depends on the dose)… and can help with anxiety-dominant depression. However, it’s not classically considered an antidepressive, this isn’t its chief role.

And yeah, I know Sawyer didn’t have it, but I was just thinking that it was more of a plausible thing to *ask* him if he had.

[quote comment="1141"] If you see on top, I speculate that they may have either made an error and meant “Clozapine” (a true antipsychotic), or they merely thought it would be more believable to have a benzodiazepine on the plane than an antipsychotic (which would be rare and probably not believable).[/quote]
sawyer never said he had it. hurley said that he needed medicine, but the fight started before sawyer could that he had it. it was never established that it (the medicine) was on the plane.

my cousin just told me that klonopin is an antidepressent/seditive. so was hurley’s doctor lying?

we dont know that it truly is klnoso-wahtsit. just like the desmond/claire drug. especially if dharma controls the hospital, as some people think.

Hi DAVID, skip down to the article on the episode “Dave” (below this one). We discuss the appearance of Libby there.

PD: Yeah, it’s definitely not first line for hallucinations; but there are psychotic patients who stake it *in addition* to their antipsychotics as an adjunct (since the hallucinations can create anxiety, too). If you see on top, I speculate that they may have either made an error and meant “Clozapine” (a true antipsychotic), or they merely thought it would be more believable to have a benzodiazepine on the plane than an antipsychotic (which would be rare and probably not believable).

I was actually pretty shocked Hurley was taking Klonopin!

I was prescribed Klonopin when I was having a very anxious time in my life, but I was certainly not hallucinating!

Anyway, this blog is great! I have nothing more to add.

Hi!

Firstly, I think that Joshman should pipe down and start watching Lost before writing on blogs like this! Secondly, of course we have chasing the Dragon in English, but it’s actually smoking crack through a crack pipe (smoke = Dragon)

Any way, back to lost, my theory is that There is another, undetected undecover other infaltrating the camp. I am sure that this person must be of the tail section as the fusalagites had the manifest. We know that it isn’t Eko or A.L. or Bernie, so it must be Libby. I think she was on the plane though! I reckon that she was sent to the mad house to spy on the nutter repeating the numbers. She may have realised that hurly had played the numbers and started to follow him. Now, on the island, she is trying toget close to him as he is the most important person on the island (see bonus on DVD). Dhe may have actually falleen in Love with him, but I think she is in cahoots with the others! Obviously this is only a theory, but we will have to wait for her back story before we can have any idea!

Did I miss this in anyone’s comments. Wasn’t that Libby in the mental institution at the very end of the episode? What does that mean?

Great psych theory also, florims…
And to answer your question, yes, I’m a “shrink”. In the States, our medical residency (training for a specialty after medical school) is usually 4 years for psych, and I’m in the middle of that now. Unfortunately, I have to (hopefully temporarily) discontinue my residency for now due to health problems, so I’m not actively practicing… so I have a lot of free time to get obsessed over LOST.
