Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants are medications prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia, and some types of seizures. However, substance misuse, such as taking higher doses or combining with other substances, can be dangerous.

Side effects of depressants addiction include drowsiness, confusion, poor coordination, and memory problems. In severe cases, it can cause dangerous respiratory depression, which may be life-threatening.

  • Noticeable drowsiness or persistent fatigue
  • Memory problems and confusion
  • Slurred speech and impaired coordination
