People with Epilepsy are often prescribed a "rescue med" (in addition to their daily meds) by their neurologist in case of a seizure that lasts longer than 3 to 5 minutes, or several seizures back to back.
The 3 most common are all in the benzodiazepine family --
-Diazepam/Valium
-Clonazepam/Klonopen
-Clobazam/Fresium/Onfi
They can be given in pill form (very tiny), in tabs that melt under the tongue, or rectally.
All 3 of these medications can cause a person to become extremely drowsy (especially if the person isn't used to them), and higher doses can induce deep sleep. High doses can also suppress respiration, and an overdose could induce coma, and rarely, even death.
There's an extremely high chance that one of these meds is in the medicine cabinet in Yonkers Ramsaran home, <modsnip>
Since this type of drug is generally kept for emergency purposes, if some went missing, it might not be noticed immediately.
