1. It was an ingredient of my childhood asthma meds to counteract the theophylline buzz.

Medicine was hellishly primitive back then...

2. My quack MD prescribed phenobarbital when I was 15

I had chest pains and palpitations....I then saw a cardiologist who said I had a very mild form of arrhythmia. No meds needed, and I've seen a couple cardiologists in my long life....I just beat to a different rhythm ...no big deal...but the quack thought I was crazy....that was so very long ago...back in the 60s.

NOW I'm crazy, but....who cares.

peace~
