It is the seum that Peter secretly switched with Death Serum in Insurgent when Jeanine wanted to have Tris killed, because Tris saved his life before, in Amity. It's the only time Paralytic is mentioned, so it's no wonder you don't remember it. It probably only served the plot purpose to make Tris look dead- it paralyzes all muscles for five minutes (but apparently not 100% as one can still breathe and their heart beats, albeit weaker).
My friends would think I was insane if I was on peace serum and truth serum would be a disaster. Paralytic- no. That would just be weird. But the death serum wouldn’t kill me bc I’m GP and the simulation wouldn’t do anything soooo one of those
So, if truth be told (lol), I like it best when one is just honest, when honesty and kindness don't exclude each other. Of course, I'm better at preaching this than practicing it, but...
