amobarbital

Sold under the name “Amytal Sodium”, Amobarbital is a drug with sedative-hypnotic properties. It is typically used to treat insomnia and to calm the patient before he/she undergoes a medical procedure. According to netdoctor.co.uk, “Amobarbital increases the activity of GABA in the brain, thereby increasing its calming effect and resulting in sleepiness”. When it comes to the side effects, drugs.com states that “signs of depression, thoughts of suicide, nervousness, emotional ups and downs, thinking that is not normal, anxiety, or lack of interest in life” may occur as a result of using Amobarbital. Breathing problems are yet another side effect that you should tell your doctor about as soon as it happens. According to the same source, “this medicine may cause harm to the unborn baby if you take it while you are pregnant”. Therefore, you must stay away from it. Remember that you should take Amobarbital on an empty to enhance absorption.
