Other prescription medications which have been used are Prozac, Inderol and Acepromazine. Not only were the medications diverse, so were the dosages. Ace is known to lower the seizure threshold. Valium dosages ranged from 2mg to 12mg. Additionally, I received a very nice education on Valium and its daughter products, which cause the sedating effect to last much longer than really needed.
Many drugs just have the primary effect and the daughter products are innocuous.
However, the daughter products of some drugs, e.g., valium, do have their own effects in addition to the primary. The sedation, muscle relaxation, amnesia, etc. In sighthounds, with minimal fat content and differing liver metabolism, these drugs can last 96 hours in some cases. There are many classifications of drugs falling into this category. Other drugs have different metabolism routes.
