I wouldn't recommend Ativan, Xanax, Valium, etc. especially if you don't normally take them. They can have the same affect as alcohol as far as depressing the central nervous system. The high stress situation is your body at its height of awareness. If you are needing to use your firearms, being under the influence of a benzodiazepine is not what you want. Just like driving under the influence.

True but at a very low dose, it may benefit more than intoxicate. Kinda like how some armies used medications to ease battlefield stress and allowed them to make the shots count; especially for snipers. Breathing exercises may help up to a point but beyond that....

The only meds I might have in my FAK would be Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Tylenol. Any patient beyond what those three can care for will need EVAC anyway. I might keep some stronger stuff in the base stash. Where having someone confined to a bed is a lesser issue.
