Ahoy ElMaestro!

❝ In my opinion, and I could be wrong, with this specification of the model we are not trying to do exactly that [...]


(underlined by me ;-))

There is a hint I meanwhile discovered:
Also the summary() function works on the lme-model intervals() does not:
> intervals(lmeModel, level=0.9)
Error in intervals.lme(lmeModel) :
  Cannot get confidence intervals on var-cov components: Non-positive definite approximate variance-covariance
.

Only the fixed effects parameter can be obtained, astonishing enough :confused::
> intervals(lmeModel, which="fixed", level=0.9)
Approximate 90% confidence intervals

 Fixed effects:
                 lower    est.     upper
(Intercept)  6.9615133 7.10189 7.2422667
drug2       -0.1825826 0.01594 0.2144626

Seems to me as there is something wrong with the random part.
