Actor Pete Davidson reportedly has told at Madison Square Garden, where he was warming up the audience for comedian Dave Chappelle’s tour, that he has been using horse tranquilliser—prompting speculation it is part of his treatments for depression.

As per reports, a friend of Davidson’s confirmed he has not just been using “a bit” of the drug. The party substance was approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a nasal spray, which reportedly was the way Davidson was taking it in 2019. It is increasingly common as a way to treat serious depression that hasn’t been improved with typical drugs.
Davidson has regularly opened up about his mental health battles, and in a YouTube interview in 2022, he said, “I’m always depressed, all the time. I have to constantly bring myself out of it. I wake up depressed. My rock bottom is when people are scared for my life and I have to go away, and then I have to bring myself back up again. I think I’ve hit it a few times.”

Davidson, who is said to have just split up with actor Chase Sui Wonders, 27, after dating for nine months, recently finished a stint in rehab as he was reportedly dealing with PTSD and borderline personality issues. He is set to start his new tour on September 5 at Connecticut’s Ridgefield Playhouse.
