Quote:'...Paddock, who had no previous record of violence or crime, was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug
in June that can lead to aggressive behaviour, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
It said records showed Paddock was prescribed 50 diazepam tablets by a doctor on 21 June.
Paddock bought the drug - also known as Valium - on the same day it was prescribed.
He was supposed to take one pill a day.
Diazepam is a sedative-hypnotic drug in the class of drugs known as benzodizepines, which studies
have shown can trigger aggressive behaviour...'

Just real quick before I go back to work - diazepam (trade name valium) is also prescribed for lower back pain, because it calms the muscle spasms that cause that pain. It's not necessarily "anti-anxiety", although it is used for that that. too. In the 60's and 70's it earned the nickname "mother's little helper" because it calmed the nerves of frazzled housewives, and did so way too often. I have NEVER known it to cause "aggressive behavior". It usually sucks so much of your energy away that you may think "ah hell, I'll be violent tomorrow!... or next week.... maybe next year if I feel ambitious..."

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
