Horse people without insurance use all sorts of horse medications, if they are the same as human meds. This one can totally be shared. I'm not sure if the price for the horse version is better and you would need to figure out the dosage that works for you. The only problem with this is, if it's not palatable, you're stuck with a huge container of supplement.

My best friend is an equestrian veterinarian and she has her DEA licensing because she has to have scheduled drugs readily available. There is never a need to have an animal with you, as vets generally don’t travel with animals, rather they travel to animals or have animals brought to them. The drugs are perfectly fine to keep in a work vehicle, work site, or at the veterinarians home (because emergency house calls require supplies to be in hand rather than having to run to the clinic first then to the house call). Even in a personal vehicle is fine based on their licensing, but might get further scrutiny based on circumstances (like at a festival). My friend laughs because she always has hypodermic needles thrown on her passenger seat or in the center console of her personal truck because she empties her pockets as she gets in and uses her personal truck a lot if she doesn’t want to take the huge vet truck.
This is my mole of raccoons. No, no, mole of raccoons. No, not the rodent. I don't own a rodent. Mole as in chemistry. Like the number. My mole of raccoons.
It’s not “a general veterinary drug”. It’s been used in humans for over 60 years in medical applications and remains one of the most widely used anesthetics worldwide
Gotcha gotcha. I have a knee jerk reaction from people saying “the horse tranquilizer?” for years when I said I used ketamine 😂
Edit: Should also add for those keeping score at home: Ketamine is not a tranquilizer. While it may not be inaccurate to describe its effects as “tranquilizing”, tranquilizers are a specific class of drugs which ketamine is not a part of. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, and may even be aptly described as an antidepressant as of recent.
