[B7L] Give Me Librium or Give Me Meth

Presumably Servalan and Travis aren't up to their eyeballs in suppressants (it's really scary to think that they're heavily medicated and would be more... extreme...otherwise). But in TWB, Blake is a high-caste respectable citizen and has to be told to avoid food and drink, so he is given suppressants. Were civilians but not the military given suppressants? Or only rank and file soldiers but not officers or not senior officers?

And does the Pylene-50 pacification program show that a) after the Andromedan War, the ordinary suppressants could no longer be administered? b) the Pylene-50 was just supposed to be topped up? c) TPTB forgot about the earlier reference to suppressants?
