Maderol, Haderol...?

Near the beginning of the movie when Dr. Grey is talking to Miranda in his office about Chloe, he tells her "Time... give it time" to which she replies "I have given it time. And..." then she lists some names of drugs I assume the hospital has tried to give Chloe to help her get better. What are the names of the drugs and what are they? I cant find anything from a general google search on any of the names it sounds like shes saying. Were they made up for the movie?

HALDOL* is an antipsychotic. The fictitious names in the script are used because
the studio couldn't obtain, legally, real names. So, yes, they WERE made up. It's
like the so-called phone numbers beginning with 555. That 'animal' will put me in
the psych. ward eventually. *See also Adderall and Mellaril (actual drug names).

Actually, all of the drugs weren't fictitious. I remember them naming Elavil, generic name Amitriptyline, which is an old school antidepressant also used for migraines and nerve pain. I would have to go back and watch the movie to pick out the others. They also use Ativan, generic name Lorazepam when sedating Miranda, but use a 40 mg dose. I think a 40 mg dose intravenously would probably down a horse.
