Answer 1

There are many medication which affects central nervous system. Opoids are one of the examples. Opioid drugs also disrupt the natural production of norepinephrine and act as central nervous system depressants. Opioids block pain sensations, induce drowsiness, reduce body temperature, and slow heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration functions. Benzodiazepams are the examples of an opioid . The more often drugs are used, the more they will impact brain chemicals and circuitry, which can lead to drug dependence and withdrawal symptoms when the drugs process out of the body. Drug cravings, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms, coupled with a loss of control over use, are signs of addiction. Benzodiazepine drugs are prescription sedatives and tranquilizers, such as Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), and Klonopin (clonazepam). These drugs are prescribed to treat anxiety, to relieve muscle tension, and as sleep aids. They serve to increase levels of GABA in the brain and slow functions of the central nervous system. They are commonly misused, however, and can have a euphoric effect when taken in large doses. Regular use of them, even when taken as directed through a valid prescription, can cause tolerance to develop, requiring escalating dosages. Higher doses, or using the drugs in a manner other than intended can lead to confusion, impaired coordination, coma and even death. So be alert when taking this drug and also under the supervision of physicians only.
