You have asked this question 3 times. Why is this so important to you.? I find it rather strange.
It is very rare that patients become childlike, due to any medication.
Patients, or Clients, as we call them, take a variety of medication, shots are mostly for those who who can't swallow well, or are very hyper and will not take the medication in the conventional way.
This is not at all, in any way comparative to Vodka or any other alcoholic drink. It is not similar to heroine.
Clients take many kinds of medications, but I have tried to respond to the "shots" as you call them. Most shots are anti pyscotics, and just help a client stop his hallucinations and delusions. It stabilized the mood, and helps them sleep better, too.Health Question & Answer
