The classification of Phenobarbital is a depressant. A depressant can be called a "downer." These drugs come in tablets, capsules, and liquid form. A further classification of phenobarbital is that it is a barbiturate. A barbiturate is a drug used as a sedative or as a sleeping aid (Depressants). Even though depressants can be helpful to patients who suffer from seizures, they can become an addiction and can cause physical and physiological dependency. Addiction is the name of the state when an individual is completely dependent on a drug and abuses it even when they are aware that it is harmful. After the first couple of days of taking a barbiturate, a person could feel tired and becomes uncoordinated. With daily use, the body becomes accustomed …show more content…
Barbiturates, such as phenobarbital, easily dissolve in body fat. Therefore, they have a fast access to the brain because they can quickly cross the blood brain barrier. Also, because barbiturates dissolve into fat, they can accumulate and then try to re-enter the blood stream. Although the exact mechanisms, by which phenobarbital impacts the brain are not fully known, it is thought that these types of drugs connect to sodium channels found on neurons and then stops the flow of these ions. Sodium ions are not able to cross the neuronal membrane because action potentials are not able to be created (Neuroscience for Kids - Barbiturate). Depressants can also impact the normal breathing functions of the respiratory system negatively. most of these drugs act by slowing down the respiratory system. Phenobarbital can also cause Inflamed airways where the lungs are not able to clear contaminants out of the system and are a lot more easily prone to pneumonia. At worst, barbiturates can also cause respiratory failure (Health Effects of Barbiturates). Barbiturates impact the circulatory system with either short term or long term effects.The risk of these drugs definitely increases as use is continued, however symptoms such as heart attacks, can even occur after the first time of consuming a drug. Also, an abnormal heart rate or an increased heart rate can be a side effect of taking drugs. Another effect can be collapsed veins, this
Used alone or in combination with other CNS depressants may lead fatal respiratory depression and to physical and psychological dependence.

Bupivacaine is a drug used in various surgeries that is given to a patient as an anesthetic. If administered, the area around the injection is numb and pain signals that would normally be sent to the brain would cease. This drug can be administered in a number of areas one of which includes the cervical plexus. A plexus is a network of nerves connecting the left and right side of our bodies together through axons from anterior rami. The cervical plexus is found deep in the neck area, and extends to different parts of the body . This plexus contributes not only to the skin and muscles in the head and neck, but also to our chest and upper portion of the shoulders. The cervical nerve roots C1-C4 make up this plexus and C5 contributes as well.

The Festival of Bealtaine, also known as May Day, marks the beginning of the summer. It encompasses the sunset of April 30th, which is May Eve, to the sunset of May 1st, which is the actual May Day. The most significant time of this festival is between dawn and sunrise. It is a key element of the annual cycle and is one of four of the ‘True Quarters,’ which also includes Samhain, Saint Brigid’s Day, and Lúnasa. The cyclic nature of Bealtaine connects to both the daily cycle and the life cycle, which highlights how cycles are central elements in one’s life. The daily cycle of waking up and sleeping can be extended into the annual cycle of the seasons, which then can be further amplified into the cycle of life and death. Bealtaine is a crucial marker in the year that serves as the start of not only summer, but as a predictor of the rest of the year. It has a complex integration of ritual, superstition, and the belief in the Otherworld. Through the many customs of
A person may be suffering from depressive symptoms and use narcotics with the hope of acquiring some kind of relief. Depressive symptoms can develop as a result of using mind altering substances or as part of withdrawal symptoms when taking breaks from drugs.

The efficacy and safety of the drug in patients under the age of 18 years is not established. With renal / hepatic insufficiency and long-term treatment, control over the picture of peripheral blood and liver enzymes is necessary. Patients who did not take previously psychoactive drugs respond to the drug at lower doses compared to patients taking antidepressants, anxiolytics or alcohol. With endogenous depression, alprazolam can be used in combination with antidepressants. With the use of alprazolam, patients with depression have seen cases of hypomanic and manic development. Like other benzodiazepines, alprazolam has the ability to induce drug dependence in long-term admission in large doses (more than 4 mg / day). With a sudden discontinuation of alprazolam, there may be comeback syndromes, such as depression, irritability, insomnia, increased sweating, especially with prolonged admission (more than 8-12 weeks). When patients develop such unusual reactions as increased aggressiveness, acute excitations, feelings of fear, thoughts of suicide, hallucinations, increased muscle cramps, difficult sleep, superficial sleep, treatment should be discontinued. During pregnancy Xanax is very dangerous due to its toxic effect on the fetus and increases the risk of congenital malformations when applied in the first trimester of pregnancy. Admission of therapeutic doses in later periods
