What Is A Barbiturate

To help sleep and other needs of great anxiety ## Hello, Louise! How are you? This website does not diagnose, treat nor prescribe any medications. It is an information only resource. Additionally, barbiturates aren't the preferred medications to treat such issues, anymore. There are medications available now that are far less habit forming and that are much safer, such as anxiolytics and antidepressants. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance? What medications have you already tried?

I currently am taking Metronidazole and have a cavity and can't get to the dentist till next week. I have taken Tylenol but it still hurts. This medication says to not take any barbiturates. If I take a pain pill for my teeth what will the outcome be for my infection that I am trying to cure. ## Hello, Nicole! How are you doing? Has there been any change? As to your question, it really depends on what other pain medication you want to take. I'm sorry, but no one can provide you with accurate information without knowing more specific details. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists the typical side effects of Metronidazole as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, and stomach pain.

Hello, I am writing because I am in a relatively desperate situation. A tragedy has happened in my family and for the past 3 months I have needed to take sedative medications in order to cope and function. I was living in Eastern Europe, and the doctors prescribed me a combination of Rivotril (clonazepam) (I believe it is called Klonopin in the US) and Amobarbital. The treatment regimen they recommended was to take 3 mg of Rivotril split into 3 1mg doses per day (1mg in the morning, 1mg in the afternoon, and 1mg in the evening). They told me that if I had an especially bad anxiety attack, particularly one where I could not sleep and was severely agitated, I should take an additional tablet of amobarbital (100mg). Although this has worked very well for the past 3 months and I never seeme...

I was on Hydrocone for my migraine/tension headaches for 3 years my dr decided to stop prescribing pain meds to her patients. Now I'm at a loss NJ Is really cracking down. My new GP referred me to a neorologist and I was thinking about asking him about Fiorcet not Hydrocone but how do I ask without sounding like a addict? ## Hello, Lola! How are you? Fioricet contains a barbiturate, not a narcotic. It contains Butalbital, Acetaminophen and Caffeine. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and nervousness. There should be no reason to worry about sounding like an addict. Just be honest about how bad they are and don't try to demand that he prescribed something. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ambien is not a Benzo, it's a Barbiturate I believe ## To clear this up for everyone that might need to, the FDA actually classifies Ambien/Zolpidem as a sedative/hypnotic. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, sleep actions and next day hangover-like effects. Are there any questions or comments? ## Zolpidem is not a benzo, but just as addictive. I was on it for years and cant remember much of that time as it causes the most horrible amnesia. I beg people now to never start using it, EVER. ## it is not a benzo nor it is a barbiturate. the generic is called zolpidam. ## Ambien is not a benzo however if used recreationally not speaking from personal experience but if use for that purpose it's been reported that it does have some b...
