“Well if chloral hydrate is rearing its ugly head, then how about something called “paregoric”? Back in the day, there were no day care centers, and parents used to keep the infants sedated so they could work.”
OMG...you’ve brought back a memory for me....back in the day, parents were told it was safe to give their kids paregoric. My mom gave it to all of us for just about every ailment, including getting us to sleep. There was a bottle of it always around. It was the nastiest tasting stuff, I think I even remember it smelling really bad?...but I remember hearing later that it was even put in our baby bottles and if I can remember the taste, I must have gotten it even as a youngster too.
Sorry if this has already been explained, but any idea why this drug list request by Eroshevich for M. Chase in September is so much different than the list she requested in Jan, prescribed in HKS name? These scripts for M. Chase would not have lasted from 9/06 until 1/07, so there had to be more orders? I’m having difficulty reconciling the 9/15 list, which is completely different than the list of drugs found in HKS’s name in Annas room, and different from the list Perper found in her system. There seem to be so many discrepancies between what was ordered, scripts actually used, remainder yet unused, scripts found in her room, scripts no where to be found, and drugs reportedly found in her system. For instance...lots of SOMA ordered...NONE found in her system? CH wasn’t ordered in 9/06, so exactly when did KE start Anna on CH? Is the methadone ordered on 9/6 the same methadone found in the fridge and was more ordered? There have to be more orders between these dates, where are they and what’s on them?

Wow, I didn’t know so many people knew about that stuff. I don’t think my folks used it on me, but I did get dosed with sweet nitre(sp). It brings down fevers. When my 27 yr old came down with a fever as an infant, I went to the pharmacy to buy some. Found out the FDA, in its infinite wisdom, banned the stuff the year before!
I’m sure paregoric has been taken off the shelves as well.
