Other substances that cause CNS depression, including

  • Alcohol
  • Prescription opioid pain medicines
  • Some over-the-counter cold and allergy medications

Possible negative effects

Effects of long-term use

  • Potential for tolerance, physical dependence, withdrawal, and/or addiction

Effects of short-term use

  • A "sleepy" and uncoordinated feeling during the first few days, as the body becomes accustomed - tolerant - to the effects, these feelings diminish.

In the body

CNS depressants slow brain activity through actions on the GABA system and, therefore, produce a calming effect.

  • Panic attacks
  • Acute stress reactions
  • Sleep disorders
  • Anesthesia (at high doses)
