yea, it is barbiturate, and they do shut down respitory systems at high doses, the tolerance, you get used to a dose and keep on increasing it until you go into a coma....
but still if it was used at a low dose, it is good for anxiety, but the modern ones, benzos always have been known for anxiety relief, the barb's give relief... make u want to sleep....that's their diffrence, and their potency is diffrent
but that's all im saying, when i took it for 5 days, it did provide relief from the withdrawl from xanax at a high dose, it didnt really give a pleasant sedation, but it did sedate and make anxiety relief, but it's diffrent than a benzo.... and lasted long time.....
thats all i was saying.....not to motivate doctors at all, they already have the medical records dated all the way back till the 20's about it.....
but is still useful in someways for anxiety....never taken the shorter acting ones, they tend to make you wanna sleep
thats all .... im on zyprexa right now at night, it does sedate me but not like a sedative, slows thoughts down, and some energy levels
r
not a scholar but understand distress.....
