Phenobarbital lasts very long. Similar to Klonopin. My stepdad took it for petit-mal siezures 1 year ago, which was too big of a sedative. He is on Trileptal now.
I dont know, but phenobarbital from what i've seen just slow, and zoned.
I have though about asking my doctor about phenobarbital once, he said no, even though he is 81 years old, he said too old and out dated, i was put on Xanax for panic attacks. He said phenobarbital doesnt really take care of panic attacks, mainly anxiety, siezures, and insomnia. He got his liscence in 1955!
Phenobarbital would be for like grand-mal siezures, when nothing else works for anxiety, even though i dont know if it works for anxiety better than benzo's.
