What is another word for Barbiturates?
Pronunciation: [bɑːbˈɪt͡ʃʊ͡əɹəts] (IPA) 
Barbiturates are a class of sedative-hypnotic drugs that can be addictive and dangerous if not used properly. They are typically prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizure disorders. Synonyms for barbiturates include sedatives, tranquilizers, and hypnotics. The use of barbiturates can cause drowsiness, confusion, and impaired coordination, and may lead to addiction, overdose, and death. Some commonly prescribed barbiturates include phenobarbital, amobarbital, and secobarbital. However, due to their potential for abuse and addiction, the use of barbiturates has declined in recent years, and many medical professionals now recommend alternative treatments such as therapy or non-addictive medications for anxiety and insomnia.
