At our facility only anti-depressants (SSRIs, Anitriptyline, Effexor), bi-polar meds (except Lithium) and Trazadone are prescribed. No Benzodiazepines, psycho-stimulants (ritalin, concerta, adderall), or anti-psychotic meds are prescribed. I have read accounts on-line that reports that individuals experience a 30-60 second high from this type of administration and my clients concur. Additionally I have clients reporting that while not incarcerated they have intravenously injected such medication and have achieved the same high.
