im so glad im overly paranoid about running out of my anxiety/sleep meds because i keep forgetting to make an appt with my psych and im almost out.....

So, one of the medications that Non is taking is 1mg of Lorazepam (Ativan). Usually it’s used to treating anxiety disorders and sleeping disorders

Some of the more serious side effects/withdrawals are hallucinations, delusions, and unusual mood changes.

Medication tampering isn’t an unheard of trope when it comes to slasher films. Did someone switch his meds to fuck with him? Were they drinking during the first time they went to Por’s vacation home? Alcohol and Lorazepam are two depressants that shouldn’t be mixed, since it can also cause hallucinations, delusions, blackouts, impaired memory and unusual moods.

Curious to see if they reveal the other medications Non has been taking.

pro tips for epilepsy:

•nicotine lowers seizure threshold and can trigger seizures (sometimes).

•nicotine counters benzo effects. this is very useful if you need to lighten ativan/clobazam/clonazapam side effects. highly recommend

•cover one eye (and turn away if you can) if photosensitive and exposed to trigger. sunglasses. wear sunglasses when in new houses. let most people know that you are photosensitive esp when it is to overhead lights and not just strobes

•don’t get paranoid but don’t dismiss signs that you might be having an aura even when you think you are free and clear

•don’t get sucker punched

•don’t take your meds on an empty stomach

•look into plants that are strong anticonvulsants (like english lavender) and ones that are pro convulsant (eucalyptus, rosemary, etc)

•carry cash when out with friends so that if you have to leave a store quickly you can hand them your wallet and they can buy it for you (biggest for coffee shops)

•read proper scientific papers and don’t just look at the epilepsy foundation website or wikipedia

•look into tax rebates and disability grants

The Doctor is in~

(Simon Petrikov x Doctor!Reader)

(A/N: hey! heres some simon while i think more about how part 3 will play out in Winter Wonderland!)

Knock knock knock.

you get up and open the door to your office, seeing your recent patient, Simon Petrikov.

You ask him why he's there, but welcome him in none of the less.

"I wanted to talk more about the uhm..medication you prescribed me."

You allow him to go on, asking which one.

"The anxiety medication, Ativan, I had read through the side effects and I wanted to ask a few more questions.."

You nod and ask him about the side effects, and which ones he had concerns with. He seemed rather nervous through all of it, but you had never minded, he has been under your care for about two years now, you became used to it.

"Thank you, Doctor, and..I might call again later.."

you simply smile and accept it, knowing he will probably have different concerns. You liked him, he was a smart patient, a good man. You liked having him around. quite a bit..but thats normal..

Right?

(A/N: Sorry for no art, didnt have any ideas, but next timei promise<3)

pill bottles

Episode 2 when White goes to search for another antenna for the walkie-talkie in the room inside of the kitchen.

After reading all of the theories about this show especially the ones about and explaining Non's pills {^the link above^} and their potential side effects if taking them while drinking (which we can see Non do in one of the flashbacks or on the tape I can't remember the scene but he's sitting on the couch) but also if someone were to prevent him to take his regular dose; it would be a horrible and absolutely not funny prank to pull but knowing these boys it seems really plausible that they would hide them from him.

It was such a short moment.

I can't tell what the label says so if anyone can lmk, I could be completely wrong. But after reading the theories on here I can't stop overthinking everything lol.

But so far the only person in the show that is shown taking medicine is Non.

In the trailer Top seems genuinely scared when they're shooting the movie outside and a masked Non is standing over him on the ground during a scene and perhaps (as unusual mood swings, blackouts or even hallucinating are some of the side effects) he could have been choking him too hard cause he got carried away (honestly I don't blame him if he were lol). Top could also be overreacting just to be mean to Non and get the group against him, which we then see them walking away from him and Jin is the only one to stay with him. (Also Jin saying "they'll learn that you're necessary is sooo suspicious and threatening like..... It made me stop and double take cause ??? But that's another theory)

(Also I cannot tell who the guy taking the mask off is, genuinely I've watched it a hundred times and I can't recognise him, maybe Tee)

Hannah’s Head Injury

Hannah Dansby was a 28 year old web+app developer. She was the cute, shy, nerdy type who had shoulder length brown hair, green eyes, and stood at 5’6 with a slim build. Sadly, Ms Dansby was brought into our emergency department recently after sustaining blunt head trauma in a high speed collision.

The young lady laid on a backboard in a c-collar. She was intubated, had EKG electrodes on her chest, and IV lines going in both arms. She had a large seatbelt shaped bruise across the front of her chest, while there was a large laceration above her right eyebrow. On the side of her head above her right ear, you could see an accumulation of blood soaking her hair in that general area, with some blood droplets coming out of the right ear. Hannah’s eyes were wide open upon arrival even though she was intubated, and was actively convulsing while medics Stephanie and Tracy wheeled her into the trauma bay. Hannah’s toes scrunched at the other end of the gurney, showing off the fresh black nail polish and the cute, prominent wrinkles in the soles of her size 8 feet. “28 year old female, restrained driver in a high speed MVC. Intubated en route, vitals all over the place. Started seizing just as we pulled into here.” Medic Stephanie tells the trauma team, giving them a quick summary of what to expect. “ok, let’s transfer her on my count. One… two… THREE!” Dr Lindsay ordered.

Hannah was transferred onto the trauma room table underneath the large overhead light. “Push a unit of ativan, and run stat trauma labs. Page radiology, I’d like to get a head CT sooner rather than later.” Lindsay barked out to the members of her trauma team. Nurse Nancy pushed the dose of the anticonvulsants and drew the trauma labs. Dr Lindsay shined a pen light in Hannah’s eyes, revealing her pupils were fixed and dilated. “well, she’s already braindead. What a shame.” Dr Lindsay announced, shaking her head. “she might be a good organ donor. But don’t let transplant surgery know just yet. We don’t need them hovering over this poor girl like a vulture.” Dr Jose added. “amen to that.” Nurse Nancy replied in agreement.

The ativan took effect and stopped Hannah’s seizure. However, Hannah’s heart also stopped. “damn it, someone start compressions!” Dr Lindsay shouted while taking a look at the monitors. Hannah’s eyes remained wide open, staring expressionlessly across the room while Dr Jose started pumping away at her chest. His compressions were intense and forceful, causing Hannah’s chest to cave in and her belly to ripple out. Her small, perky breasts jiggled and one arm hung off the side of the table, bobbing and lolling around. Blood shot out of her right ear in sync with each individual compression. What happened was the temporal bone of her skull became partially displaced and slashed open the temporal artery within the subarachnoid space. A lot of blood in such a small space is always bad, so the pressure inside her skull built up rather quickly, squeezing her brain, causing her brain death, and the only way out for the excess blood was through the ear canal.

“Epi and atropine in Linds” nurse Heather called out. “ok, I’ve got v-fib on the monitors. Charge the paddles to 250” Dr Lindsay called out. The paddles were charged, gelled, and pressed up against Hannah’s bare chest, and a shock was delivered as soon as Jose stood clear. KA-THUNK. The young woman’s broken body tensed up and flopped for a moment. “no pulse, recharge to 300.” Dr Lindsay called out, placing 2 fingers on Hannah’s neck for a carotid pulse. The defibs were readied, and shock #2 was delivered. Hannah’s feet kicked around on the other end of the table in response to the shock, wrinkling the soles of her feet. “She’s still in v-fib. Charge to 360.” Dr Jose ordered, closely looking at the heart monitor. The third shock caused Hannah’s chest to shoot up and her back to arch, while her eyes remained wide open, looking almost as if she was watching the team as they coded her.

A fourth shock was delivered shortly after, sending Hannah into PEA. Nurse Heather took over chest compressions this time, and the next doses of epinephrine and atropine were pushed into the young lady’s IV line. Medics Stephanie and Tracy stood behind the yellow line in the trauma room still watching the code. “what a shame.” Stephanie says, knowing how this code is going to play out. “yeah, I hope they find the SOB that hit her. Someone on scene said it was a hit and run.” Tracy replies. Tracy and Stephanie’s conversation is interrupted for a moment. “excuse me, coming through.” A female voice said. Sure enough, it was Dr Amy, the hospital’s transplant surgeon. “hey, is this the head trauma patient? I need an A+ liver for a hemochromatosis patient and a kidney for a little girl.” Dr Amy says, forgoing any greetings or any social graces associated with conversation. “ugh. Amy. Can this girl just die in peace?” a frustrated Dr Lindsay replies. “I know you have your patients to look out for, but I have mine to look out for. This beautiful girl woke up this morning not knowing it was gonna be her last day, and I wanna at least try for her.” Dr Lindsay added, trying to reason with the transplant surgeon. “alright, just try to make it quick so I can get the ORs ready.” Dr Amy replied, more or less disregarding Dr Lindsay’s heartfelt reply before walking out of the trauma room. “wow what a bitch.”  Medic Tracy said, surprised at the exchange that took place.

Hannah converted back to a shockable rhythm, so the paddles were charged to 360, gelled, and pressed back up against the patient’s bare chest. Hannah’s body jolted violently in response to the shock, but v-fib displayed on the monitors. “hit her again at 360. Everyone… CLEAR!” Dr Lindsay shouted, pressing the paddles onto Hannah’s bare chest. KA-THUNK. “no change, shocking again. Everyone stand clear!” Lindsay barked out. Hannah’s body thrashed around on the table for a brief moment before going limp again, but she was still in v-fib. Lindsay shocked her again, causing a quick, but violent reaction out of Hannah. This time, the monitors went completely flat. “asystole…” Dr Jose said in a defeated tone. Lindsay let out a sigh, and placed the defib paddles back on the crash cart. She started to peel her gloves off, making the dreaded announcement. “time of death, 4:07pm.”

The ambu bag was detached from the ET tube and the flatlined monitors were switched off. Nurse Nancy gently shut Hannah’s eyes for the last time, while nurse Heather started disconnecting the EKG electrodes. “let Amy know. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled…” an upset Dr Lindsay said, heading out of the room.

Hannah’s organs were able to be successfully extracted and were credited for saving 3 different lives. Unfortunately, the alleged hit and run driver that killed her has yet to be located by law enforcement. If you have any information regarding this incident, please reach out to the authorities.

Can you read my mind? I've been watching you (Part I of III)

Find it here on AO3 (I much prefer the formatting there)

Pairing: Matty/George

Summary: Matty's bored. He decides to make it everyone's problem.

(AKA a fic about that unhinged video of Matty gagging on his own fingers.)

Words: ~2k

Rating: E

Matty was bored. 

Supremely, mind-numbingly bored. The kind of bored that had him antsy, doom scrolling through his socials, picking at his clothes, and bouncing his legs, unable to sit still— that had him searching for any kind of stimulation. It was the kind of bored that tended to drive him to irritate the fuck out of everyone else in his immediate vicinity. For all the years he’d spent touring the world, he had never quite figured out how to pass the time during a flight if he wasn’t throwing back Ativan like tic tiacs. 

Those were the days, he thought grimly. 

Shifting uncomfortably in the reclined leather seat, Matty craned his neck to peek at the others. From the dim glow of the track lights running down the center aisle of the plane he could just make out their sleeping forms bundled in thin, threadbare blankets. They’d been going non-stop, and their schedule was so tight that the red-eye was probably the only opportunity any of them would have to get some rest before they were whisked off to the next show. Luckily, Jamie had managed to book a long-hauler equipped with sleeper seats, not that it was doing Matty any good. He eyed Adam snoring peacefully into his pillow across the aisle with envy; if fucking only. Checking the time on his phone he sighed aloud, running a hand down his face. They had hours to go before they landed in Honolulu, and Matty simply could. Not. Sit. Still. 

He was on edge, and truthfully, rather miffed. George had rejected every advance he’d made in the last 48 hours, and it was driving him to distraction. 

This thing they had between them was still new, still undefined, but God, if it wasn’t all Matty could think about. It had started out innocently enough— a clumsy, tequila-induced fumble after a show a few weeks back— but from there quickly spiraled into the two of them sneaking around, unable to stop themselves from crashing into each other over and over (and over) again. Sex with George was unlike anything he’d ever experienced before. There was something profound about it, something deeply intimate and dirty and right and— 

Matty exhaled shakily, vision softening as his mind wandered back to the hotel room in Chicago. The tactile memory of George’s massive hands all over his body— gripping his hair, stroking his sweat-slick skin, squeezing his cock— evoked a sharp flash of desire that surged through his chest and settled low in his groin. He bit the inside of his cheek remembering the way George had fucked him into the mattress, thrusting so deep inside him that he’d seen stars as tears of pleasure pricked at the corners of his eyes.

So he was a little infatuated; sue him. He couldn’t help it if now that he’d had a taste, he could never get enough. And as far as Matty was concerned, they had decades of catching up to do.

George was cautious; he didn’t want anyone to know just yet, and went to great lengths to cover their tracks, intent on remaining inconspicuous. Whatever this development in their relationship was, it would surely have an effect on the band. On the music. Maybe. They weren’t quite sure what it all meant yet, so he didn’t want to broach the subject with the others unless they had to— and that was just the kind of reasonable, level-headed logic that Matty couldn’t be arsed with. 

A small movement from the corner of Matty’s eye caught his attention. Two rows down and across the aisle, one of the blanketed heaps— the largest— shifted and turned on its side, searching in vain for a more comfortable position.

He really couldn’t help himself.

M: you up? 

Nestled back in his seat, he watched the blue light of George’s phone silently illuminate the ceiling of the plane. The reply came immediately:

G: no

Matty smirked. George was protective of his sleep, and a mardy fucker if you dared disturb him, but that was a chance he was willing to take— damn the consequences. He took another cursory glance around the cabin.

M: meet me in the bathroom?  G: why would i meet you in the bathroom?  M: everyone’s asleep…

Matty popped his head into the aisle to spy George sitting up, blanket shrugged off his chest, his fingers flying across the screen. 

G: you’re joking M: not G: are you mental?? M: obviously ;)

He thought he could make out the faint sound of George snorting over the steady thrum of the plane, but he couldn’t be sure. His phone vibrated. 

G: thanks but no thanks love x

Matty frowned. 

Not here. Not now. That was all George had to say to him for the last two days. They were booked tight with back-to-back shows, and when they weren’t traveling or performing they were inundated with endless press, leaving precious little downtime— which would’ve been just fine had George been capable of keeping his hands to himself.

Whether it was an innocently placed hand on the small of his back, an arm slung around his neck, or a teasing brush against the curve of his arse, George took every opportunity to rile Matty up, smirking with satisfaction whenever he managed to make him stutter or lose his train of thought. They’d always been physically affectionate, but it was undeniably different now; there was something like ownership in George’s touch, and it made Matty shiver. Not to mention the way that George looked at him when he thought no one would notice. Matty’s knees went weak each time he caught George’s heated gaze raking lazily over his body from across the room. He looked at Matty as though he were something indecent.

The unspoken tension between them had grown so unbearable that on more than one occasion, Matty had dragged him toward an empty closet or dressing room out of sheer desperation, only to be met with the same measured response:

Not here. Not now. Be patient.

Matty was sick of being patient. He wanted George to shove him up against the wall of the dodgy airplane bathroom already and fuck him until he couldn’t see straight. Dignity be damned. 

The drive to the airport was the final straw. In the dark back seat of the Sprinter Matty held his breath in silent shock as George’s hand crept up his inner thigh to slowly massage his cock through his jeans, like a horny fucking teenager. He had to bite his tongue (literally) to keep from making some horribly pathetic sound whilst George carried on a full conversation with Adam and Ross, the passing street lights illuminating the small smile ghosting his lips. It was torture. George was playing with him, seemed to be doing everything in his power to make Matty’s life hell, and to top it all off, he was enjoying it. 

For all his kumbaya, inner peace, yoga-loving-meditation bullshit, George was a control freak. It was in the way he would obsess over a piece of music until it was perfect, bending pitch and beat and melody to his whim until it pleased him. It was the subtle change in his demeanor when he was behind the kit in a live show, driving the pace of the entire performance, knowing that the fate of it all rests with him. And it was never more obvious than when they were tangled together, their bodies flushed with exertion as they gave in to twenty-odd years of repressed desire. George was sweet, kind, and deeply tender; he was also impatient, possessive, and exacting. He hid it well, but beneath his placid smile and gentle bearing, there was a quiet hunger in George that demanded to be fed. Matty found himself utterly intoxicated by the contradiction of it.

Though Matty reckoned that he at least gave as good as he got; figuring out how to provoke George had very recently become his latest obsession. Maybe it stemmed from the boyish competitiveness of their school years, some childhood dynamic they never really outgrew as men. In any case, knowing how to turn George on was its own kind of power. Besides, he’d never been too proud to beg.

M: please. need you. M: i’m desperate ok? M: i’ll be so quiet, no one will know   M: pleasepleaseplease

A minute passed. No response. 

Dejected, Matty peeked down the aisle and nearly jumped out of his skin. George was staring back at him, his expression carefully composed, dark eyes glittering with an unspoken warning in the low light. He merely shook his head once, subtly, but the message was loud and clear. No.

Gritting his teeth, Matty flung himself back in his seat like a petulant child. He checked the time again, running through the math in his head; they still had six hours to go before they landed in Hawaii. He was going to lose his mind on this aluminum death trap hurdling through the sky, and he was going to make it everyone’s problem.

With that thought a ridiculous idea crossed his mind. It was impulsive, completely outrageous, even for him— and that really was saying something— but the more Matty considered it, the more amusing it became. It was a little out of pocket, sure, but then again, that was sort of his brand these days, wasn’t it? He lifted his phone, opened his front-facing camera, and pressed record.

Peering at the screen, he reckoned that he didn’t look half-bad. Clearly tired and a little ragged, but in a sexy, disheveled sort of way. His hair was a nightmare, and he briefly tried to fix it before accepting that it was probably futile, giving up entirely. That wasn’t the point, anyway. Staring down the lens with heavy, hooded eyes, Matty let his mouth fall open gently as he brought his fingers to his lips, embracing the thrill of arousal that snaked up his spine from the boldness of what he was about to do. 

Before he could talk himself out of it he opened wider, guiding three of his fingers back, back, back until they filled his mouth to the middle knuckle, forcing him to breathe through his nose. He pressed down on his tongue ever so slightly, reveling in the feeling— it was probably the cigarettes, but he’d always had a bit of an oral fixation. The fullness made him think about George’s cock, thick and heavy, stretching him to his limit because George was big, and fuck if Matty didn’t love the way he made his jaw ache. He shuddered, eyes rolling back as he lost himself to the image of George standing over him, a tight fist in his hair, groaning at the silky heat of Matty’s mouth. Spurred on by the fantasy, Matty shoved his hand further until his eyes began to water, brow furrowing at the intrusion. 

When the tip of his middle finger brushed the back of his throat he gagged harshly, jerking in his seat; the sudden movement made him groan. He didn’t particularly care if anyone could hear it.

Chest heaving from the effort, Matty removed his wet fingers from mouth, saliva dragging across his chin. He stopped the video. Watched it back. Turned the sound off and added some heavy track with a slamming beat and a grungy guitar.

And hit post.

The plane shook as it passed through an air pocket. Matty gripped the armrests of his seat, uneasy, his heart hammering in his chest. It had little to do with the turbulence.

In the moment, the video seemed like a good idea; now, he wasn’t so sure. Could he get canceled for this? He wanted to scoff at the thought, but a tiny seed of doubt had taken hold in the back of his mind as the notifications continued to roll in at a relentless pace. Most of them were inconsequential. Only one actually mattered.

wowwy wawawa. was worried about seeing a new psychiatrist, but any doc that gives me a month of ativan is okay in my book.

so anyway, I got that and also starting something called remeron after the weekend is over (going out of town for my brother’s 2 day chess tournament and don’t want to deal with side effects during it). Let’s be hopeful.

[normal-with-adhd-is-a-joke]

Hello, it's me, the COVID vaccine test subject! I'm always first in line to get new COVID vaccines because I have long COVID and I'm not trying to make it worse. Here are some things of note about the new (as of 9/25/2023) COVID vaccine from Pfizer based on the experience of me and my mom who just got it on Sunday.

General info:

The vaccine is usually called Comirnaty or "The 2023-2024 Covid Vaccine" when you're signing up to get it. It's generally not referred to as a booster. All Pfizer vaccines fall under the name "Cormirnaty" so make sure you're getting the latest one, it's always good to ask the office, clinic, or pharmacy you're scheduling with if you're unsure.

According to the pharmacist who administered my shot, it wasn't supposed to be out for a few weeks so some insurances, including Pennsylvania Medicaid, won't cover it yet. It's $190 out of pocket. I would recommend getting in contact with your insurance company or the place you're getting vaccinated to ensure that you're not going to have to pay for it.

The vaccine is FDA approved and uses MRNA technology, the same as the original Pfizer vaccine.

Side effects (I received the flu and covid vaccines at the same time in the same arm, my mom received only the covid one, will update if/when my dad and sibling get it):

I had very manageable arm soreness and swelling. I've gotten this with every vaccine I've gotten, some are worse than others, this was one of the less severe ones. The swelling isn't interfering with my arm movements at all, it's just certain movements are painful.

I also had extreme sleepiness today, I fought to keep my eyes open for most of the morning and ended up skipping class and just going back to bed for most of the day. There are several factors that could play into this. I went to the ren faire on Saturday and my big crashes are sometimes delayed by a day. I also got both vaccines at the same time which can sometimes cause worse side effects. I wanted to mention it because it could be related to the COVID vaccine alone. I would plan to get the vaccine on a day where you don't have work or another big event going on.

My mom had more severe arm pain and limited range of motion. She struggled to move for the first day. She, like me, often gets a bump and/or pain following shots. She (by her own admission) forgot there were things she could do to reduce the swelling so that might have contributed to her having such a hard time with it.

Tips:

Keep your arm relaxed as much as possible during the shot. Tensing the muscle causes the shot to hurt more.

Move your arm a bit after the shot to reduce pain, but don't do anything strenuous.

If you're able to, take a pain medication with anti-inflammatory properties shortly after getting the shot.

Use a cold compress if the swelling becomes bothersome.

If fear is a barrier to getting a shot, it's perfectly acceptable and actually good to talk to a doctor about taking an anti-anxiety medication beforehand. I use weed or CBD, but you might also be given one dose of a sedative like Ativan or Xanax.

okay i found a tweet that contains a slightly longer version of the pigeon banter to find that the song about pigeons is antibodies.

putting lyrics below;

From underneath this surface patch You'll beg and writhe And a longing it could take the same amount Might have missed it in my count

Mandatory spaces, stand in line Through the television static, we divide Come hold my throat To remind me what I am

You have the most material Oddest select I never said I liked the side effect I never meant it like I wish you well

Ativan Ativan, gotta disconnect Ativan gotta disconnect

At the bottom it's recorded Every word that wouldn't pass Opposite of everything you meant I know it's a lot to ask but I'm desperate Do the silent treatment twist

You have the most material Oddest select I never said I liked the side effect I never meant it like I wish you well

And I would never punish anyone to live like this It is your choice - alone Whatever happens, don't let anybody see my face Don't let anybody see my face

And if I'm wrong I'll never try and change your mind again What will make this last? Kill me again Tell it to stop finding excuses Why the passion you insisted on feels dead

Tranquilizers, also known as anxiolytics or psychotropic drugs, are medications that are used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and other mental health disorders. In the emergency department (ED), tranquilizers are often used to manage agitated or distressed patients, or to sedate patients before procedures.

There are several different types of tranquilizers that are commonly used in the ED, each with its own unique set of characteristics and potential side effects.

• Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines are a class of tranquilizers that are widely used in the ED due to their fast-acting sedative effects and low risk of overdose. They work by enhancing the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA, which slows down the activity of the brain and central nervous system.

Examples of benzodiazepines include lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), and midazolam (Versed). These medications are typically given intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM) in the ED and can be used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and alcohol withdrawal.

• Antipsychotics

Antipsychotics, also known as neuroleptics or major tranquilizers, are a class of medications that are used to treat psychosis, schizophrenia, and other mental health disorders. They work by blocking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in the regulation of mood and behavior.

Examples of antipsychotics include haloperidol (Haldol), olanzapine (Zyprexa), and quetiapine (Seroquel). These medications are typically given orally or by injection in the ED and can be used to treat agitation, psychosis, and delirium.

• Beta blockers

Beta blockers are a class of medications that are commonly used to treat hypertension, angina, and other cardiovascular conditions. They work by blocking the action of the hormone adrenaline, which can help to reduce anxiety and heart rate.

Examples of beta blockers include propranolol (Inderal) and metoprolol (Lopressor). These medications are typically given orally or by injection in the ED and can be used to treat anxiety, hypertension, and tachycardia.

• Sedative-hypnotics

Sedative-hypnotics are a class of medications that are used to induce sleep or sedation. They work by slowing down the activity of the brain and central nervous system.

Examples of sedative-hypnotics include lorazepam (Ativan), zolpidem (Ambien), and eszopiclone (Lunesta). These medications are typically given orally or intravenously in the ED and can be used to treat insomnia and anxiety.

• Alpha-2 agonists

Alpha-2 agonists are a class of medications that are used to sedate patients and reduce anxiety. They work by activating alpha-2 receptors in the brain, which can help to reduce the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and lower blood pressure.

Examples of alpha-2 agonists include clonidine (Catapres) and dexmedetomidine (Precedex). These medications are typically given intravenously or intramuscularly in the ED and can be used to treat agitation and hypertension.

• Barbiturates

Barbiturates are a class of medications that are used to induce sleep or sedation. They work by enhancing the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that slows down the activity of the brain and central nervous system.

Examples of barbiturates include pentobarbital (Nembutal) and secobarbital (Seconal). These medications are typically given intravenously or intramuscularly in the ED and can be used to treat severe anxiety or to induce coma in cases of life-threatening conditions such as intracranial pressure or status epilepticus.

It's important to note that all tranquilizers have the potential for side effects and should be used with caution. Common side effects of tranquilizers include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. In rare cases, tranquilizers can also cause more serious side effects such as respiratory depression, hypotension, and paradoxical reactions (e.g., agitation or excitement instead of sedation).

In conclusion, tranquilizers are a valuable tool in the management of agitated or distressed patients in the ED. However, it's important for healthcare providers to carefully consider the risks and benefits of these medications and to use them appropriately to minimize the risk of side effects.
