I am glad you vomited that up Jan...that would have killed you.
That med is actually used in assisted suicide patients in europe...watching a documentary on tv here about a man who had a neurological disorder that was slowly making his body and all his organs paralized...he was down to his face only in the documenatary and decided with his family to end his life...had to travel to i think it switzerland or denmark...cant remember. They administered a drug first to strengthen his stomach then he drank from a straw 15ml of phenobarbitol (dont remember the concentration) and he want into coma 5min later....just closed his eyes and was gone...very peaceful though. I dont believe it takes much in the way of barbituates to run into serious problems.
> Being older would you believe was in false labor and given two seconals. Didn't fall asleep til next day when discharged then slept. Once in junior high or now called middle school a girl brought in his Mom's phenobarbital I took half the bottle on a dare. And then got scared and vomited them up. Was a time when they were prescribed for anyone I was first on miltown and valium. Got better too. Love Phillipa
