VALIUM

Valium is a highly addictive drug used to treat nervous disorders, and convulsive disorders. It is also widely used as a tranquilliser to sedate mentally ill patients and the elderly in homes. Valium works by blocking the consciousness, thereby rendering the patient unable to think clearly. Unfortunately this does mean that patients forget to open doors, duck under obstructions etc. and risk injuring themselves. It is not a curative, but a highly convenient way of blocking symptoms.
