1. Chloral hydrate
2. Meprobamate
3. Paraldehyde
4. Ethchlorvynol
Ladyoasis

Ok. I looked on the drug database we have (Lexi-Comp), and all of this meds have an unpleasant strong taste, but the only one that mention the mint-like taste is Ethchlorvynol. This med is really old, almost not used. When used is only for insomia. If this is a real case, I'll ask about how the pill looks like.
