Barbiturates
These drugs are legally available on
prescription and used to be used as
tranquillisers, to calm anxious people
and help them sleep. They are rarely
used by doctors for this purpose now.
They are relaxing in small doses and
sedative in larger doses. Even very
small doses cause clumsiness and may
lead to accidents. Very large doses may
cause death by stopping breathing.
Dependence and withdrawal symptoms
may occur. Sudden withdrawal may have
very serious effects. Treatment is by
slowly withdrawing the drug under
careful medical supervision.
