Amytal

Sodium Amytal was given to shell-shocked soldiers in World War Two to release repressed memories but it was never approved for use on children.

On this date in 1929, the new anesthetic, Sodium Amytal, was used for the first time locally during an operation at the Gila County General Hospital.

Intravenous Amytal causes a feeling of relaxation, warmth, and closeness to the interviewer; while in this state, the patient is questioned.

For our purposes, these medicines should be considered essentially identical to IV Amytal, because they produce these same effects on the patient.
