Diazepam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diazepam

Trade names Valium and many others

US FDA: Diazepam

Diazepam, first marketed as Valium, is a medication of the benzodiazepine family that typically produces a calming effect. It is commonly used to treat a range of conditions including anxiety, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome, muscle spasms, seizures, trouble sleeping, and restless legs syndrome.[3] It may also be used to cause memory loss during certain medical procedures.[4][5] It can be taken by mouth, inserted into the rectum, injected into muscle, or injected into a vein.[5] When given into a vein, effects begin in one to five minutes and last up to an hour.[5] By mouth, effects may take 40 minutes to begin.[6]

Common side effects include sleepiness and trouble with coordination.[5] Serious side effects are rare.[3] They include suicide, decreased breathing, and an increased risk of seizures if used too frequently in those with epilepsy.[3][5] Occasionally excitement or agitation may occur.[7][8] Long term use can result in tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms on dose reduction. Abrupt stopping after long term use can be potentially dangerous.[3] After stopping, cognitive problems may persist for six months or longer.[7] It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.[5] Its mechanism of action is by increasing the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA).[7]

Yes. Mix that with her beloved alcohol and you will see the results.

It’s a wonder she hasn’t broken her nose on the Chappaqua staircase.

From reading your post I can now say the mystery object was the bitch’s Diazepam suppository falling out when she lost bowel control during this seizure.
