Btw, my comment about facial tics and elderly was not excusing what he did, but more a statement that the elderly do revert back to easily identifiable expressions- aided by their own failing bodies. (Roughly equal to extreme variations of PBA)

Welp, and okay. I just learned that this medicine we appreciated so much (back then) was merely cough syrup (Dextromethorphan) and quinidine derivative.
In 2010, the FDA approved the combination drug dextromethorphan/quinidine for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect (uncontrollable laughing/crying). Dextromethorphan is the actual therapeutic agent in the combination; quinidine merely serves to inhibit the enzymatic degradation of dextromethorphan and thereby increase its circulating concentrations via inhibition of CYP2D6.[14]
I think it’s a combination of facial tics, exasperated by both emotional occurrences and age.

Now I’m pissed, but also, this is huge (to me).
And I also have many questions
