>I know... and then there's the benzo.org.uk site which I guess reflects this but I wont go further for getting slapped with a wet noodle for my free speech. There are people who have been on Valium without sequelae since 1962.
I'm not a 'benzophobe', I was just describing a common attitude of English pdocs. There are also patients who've been on pheno since 1912 without sequelae :)
>Huh.....
Midazolam injection produces similar effects to diazepam injection. Midazolam injection is used mainly as a sedative-anxiolytic during unpleasant medical procedures eg. colonoscopy, angiography. It is also widely used as a pre-medication prior to anesthesia. Diazepam injection can be used similarly. Midazolam and diazepam are rarely appropriate drugs for the induction of anesthesia because very high doses may be required, inducation is slow, some patients fail to loose consciousness, emergence is slow and other drugs are always required to achieve satisfactory anesthesia. Although midazolam is used during anesthesia, it is *not* a general anesthetic. Diazepam can be used as an alternative but it frequently irritates the vein into which it is injected.
>Well I just don't want someone finding out how to get seconal from the Caribbean or something. That's all.
Our discussion has provided no sources of obtaining drugs without a prescription :)
