Jayson Williams' Cocktail Recipe

When the police busted Jayson Williams earlier this week, they found all kinds of psychiatric drugs in his possession [NY Daily News]. It was probably not a good idea for Jayson to mix them all together.

Two sources said the ex-NBA star had bottles for Celexa, an anti-depressant, and lithium, used for manic-depression - along with the sleeping pill Ambien, human growth hormone and two other drugs.

But when police arrived he couldn't even talk. He was crazy and out of it. Maybe the interaction of the drugs helps explain that."

Reputable medical Web sites say lithium and Celexa together can cause a toxic condition - serotonin syndrome. Agitation, delirium and even death can result.

Now that Williams is at St. Vincent's, he's on the mood stabilizer Depakote, which is used to get bipolar patients out of the manic phase of their illness, another source said.


So now that he's in a hospital, they put more drugs into him? That's some good doctoring right there.
