I'd like to see a list of deaths from this drug. There are so many celebrity or famous deaths associated with it. Anyone? --71.125.90.20 03:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

jimi hendrix is identified as the "great" rock musician - isn't this just the author's pov. shouldn't he be described as a "well-known" musician instead? 192.158.61.142 (talk) 20:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

removed Fragment

There was a weird, rambling paragraph about the safety/dangers of Seconal after the end of the article: it was run-on sentences, in the wrong place, and was not referenced. If the author wants to include it in an appropriate place in the article and include references, he/she can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.85.151.177 (talk) 04:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Symptom of withdrawal

I have removed "Death" as a symptom of withdrawal from this unreferenced section. I imagine it was included as a hoax. Death is never a symptom. When it occurs, it is a result. DanTheShrew (talk) 16:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bad article quality & Availability information

This article is in dire need of a rewrite. Right now, the article makes secobarbital out to be the evil-nasty drug-of-death. Only secobarbital related killings (accidential overdose, suicide, or euthanasia) are mentioned in any detail. Where is the non-death related medical information? Only the chemical information sidebar is of any real use.

A few months ago, someone wrote in several myths, facts, and precautions (referenced above by 71.85.151.177). Most of it would have been correct and useable if it had been written in an encyclopædic manner.

For anyone's information, in the United States, Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. recently divested their Seconal (secobarbital) 100 mg capsules to Marathon Pharmaceuticals. Marathon is now shipping this drug.

Anyone may delete this after 01 May 2009, or after the article is rewritten or fixed. Cheers.

My Experience

When I was 19, I had a pilonidal cyst removed. The night before the operation, the physician prescribed two secanol capsules, which I took. It was about 9:00 p.m. After I swallowed them, I closed my eyes, turned my head, and then opened my eyes. It was morning. Wow. That is powerful stuff!
