This page covers pharmaceuticals and controlled substances named in provenance-verified text. It does not allege that any named person committed an offence, and no one named here has been charged in connection with these documents.
Possession of a prescription drug is lawful and ordinary. What the documents establish is circulation — who asked whom for what.
A separate page addresses the scopolamine article and the trumpet plants. This one addresses everything else.
Section 01
The Supply Ran Both Ways
In September 2012 a physician in Epstein’s circle offered to deliver medication to him.
Eva Dubin — a medical doctor — wrote: "I have the adderall and antibiotics. Can I drop it off tomorrow?" Epstein replied: "yes."
Six weeks later the direction reversed. Epstein asked Boris Nikolic what he wanted; Nikolic answered under the subject line "Ambien": "Generic Ambien one is OK as well. 10mg Thank you."
Two years on, Epstein asked him: "how are you feeling are you sleeping, are you still taking any ghb or stuff" — and Nikolic replied that he had "never used ghb (did not even know that it is used for sleep) but Ambien and Lunesta… I got used to Ambien and Lunesta due to so many intercontinental trips."
The question is the notable part. GHB is a controlled substance best known as a sedative used in drug-facilitated assault. Epstein raised it unprompted as something a correspondent might be "still taking." Nikolic’s reply indicates he did not know it was used for sleep.
21 September 2012, Nikolic to Epstein, about a party:
"Pls reply with whom you are going to that party… We will need to distract the ex (any spare ambien) ;-)"
The emoticon is in the original and the tone is joking. A joke about sedating someone is not evidence that anyone was sedated.
It is reproduced because it was written, and because the same correspondent had ordered Ambien from Epstein a month later.
Section 02
Reported Effects
At least one correspondent reported back to Epstein on what a drug had done to them.
March 2013: "The Xanax was not good. It knocked me out within 20 minutes of taking it. I could not wake up and had the craziest nightmares. Now woke up 3 hours later and I don’t feel good. Almost slightly aggressive."
The sender is not identified in the provenance-safe text. Unresolved What the document establishes is that someone took Xanax, had a severe reaction, and reported it to Epstein — the kind of message sent to whoever provided it, though the document does not say he did.
In October 2018 a correspondent wrote: "I am cocaine negative. I stopped cocain in…" — reporting a drug-test result to him. Sender unresolved

What a Keyword Search Gets Wrong
Four drug terms return large numbers and almost nothing real. They are printed so that anyone repeating this search knows what they are looking at.
"LSD" returns 878 provenance-safe documents — and is OCR of "USD." Every instance examined is a bank statement or FedEx invoice: "Cash & Short Term Total… LSD Dec 31 53,399.49."
"Heroin" returns 83 — and is OCR of "herein." The hits are email disclaimers: "tax-related matter(s) addressed heroin" and "My comments or statements made heroin do not necessarily reflect those of BlueMountain Capital Management."
"Fentanyl" returns 9, dated 2025 — FBI news briefings postdating Epstein’s death by six years, swept into the production. "Cannabis" returns 370, overwhelmingly a 2017 Ackrell Capital Cannabis Investment Report in the House Oversight material. "Quaalude" returns zero.
"Cocaine" returns 115, but most are court filings and a UN drug-convention text rather than correspondence.
Not established: that any drug was administered to anyone without consent, that any named person committed an offence, or that these documents connect to the offending. Several senders are unidentified in verified text. Unresolved
