Barbital Rapid Test Self-Test

Barbiturates inhibit the pontine reticular structure and reduce rapid eye movement sleep. Even if taken for a short period of time, discontinuing the medication can cause a rebound in rapid eye movement sleep, resulting in continuous nightmares and uncomfortable sensations. So, once taking barbiturates, they often persist and are difficult to stop, making it easy to form dependence. Most dependent individuals take drugs with short-term effects, such as Sukemian, Amital, pentobarbital, etc. The general addictive dose is 4-50 times the treatment dose, and this type of drug has cross resistance with alcohol. Taking barbiturates together with alcohol can accelerate addiction. Sometimes taking large amounts at once can lead to addiction.

Barbiturate drugs: These drugs are derivatives of barbiturate salts. Its function is to inhibit the function of the central nervous system, mainly by blocking the conduction of the ascending activation system of the brainstem reticular structure, reducing the impact of incoming impulses on the cerebral cortex, and thus exhibiting sedative and hypnotic effects. Barbiturates have the same effect. However, the strength and duration of the action vary. Those with high lipid solubility are more likely to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and enter the human brain tissue, with a fast and strong effect. Those with low lipid solubility enter the human brain tissue slowly and show significant effects.
