Barbiturates have been used in the past by medical doctors to decrease nervousness and to help people sleep. Barbiturates are more commonly known as 'sedatives' and if they are taken for a long enough period of time or if they are taken to excess it could lead to a barbiturate addiction or dependency.
Barbiturate abuse or addiction can impair a person's ability to function and users may find difficulty in thinking, talking, walking or remembering things. If a person abruptly stops taking barbiturates he or she may experience uncomfortable, and in some cases, very dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Barbiturate addiction withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to:
- Restlessness
- Shakiness
- Weakness
- Nervousness
- Upset stomach
- Vomiting
- Sweating
- Sensitivity to light
- Hallucinations
- Seizures
