Having to call up the side effects of schizophrenia medication off the top of his head wasn't exactly the easiest thing, but Wilson was considered a good doctor for a reason. Maybe he wasn't as much of a genius as someone like House, but he knew the basics enough that he was aware of the adverse effects of medication that he rarely prescribed to any of his own patients.
"It can range from blurred vision to your mouth going dry to constipation," he responded, not bothering to be subtle about those less than savory bodily functions. He was used to speaking about unpleasant things with a straight face (cancer was an ugly disease no matter what happened), so this actually made him feel like he was in his element far more than the rest of the session had up until this point.
As for the other questions, Wilson first had to get past the fact that Max was still acting as if he was ignorant of human illnesses before he could respond. He'd met enough ignorant people that he was used to answering what might be considered stupid questions. "It's not typical," he said with a shake of his head. "Well, people do develop things like schizophrenia, which causes hallucinations and sometimes hearing voices, but it's relatively rare. It can be controlled, but sometimes it's difficult to find the type of medicine that works best for you. You might have to go through a few different brands before you find something that doesn't give you those side effects."
