I would not administer a controlled substance to anyone other than for whom and the reason it was prescribed, especially friends and never to someone in biological shock. Without the medical knowledge of what medications to which the individual maybe allergic, current medications which might have adverse interactions and the ability of being to reverse with an antagonist drug, you are playing with fire. Giving someone this drug to "calm them down" or reduce panic attacks, during a crisis, is not in my opinion justified. I have talked many individuals down from panic attacks and other psychological disorders enough to be able to treat them and transport to the hospital without medications. We reserve this medication for sustained seizures and to conduct medical procedures such as cardoversion or cardiac pacing in a conscious patient. We also have a medication to reverse the effects if needed. I would want individuals in an emergency situation to be able focus on the problem at hand, with a clear head. Just my opinion - Pete
