They have been used as sedatives for years in the medical field, but these drugs have also become popular for recreational use because they produce feelings of euphoria or relaxation. This is why barbiturate addiction is so dangerous—addicts may take more than one pill at a time without realizing it, leading to overdose symptoms such as slurred speech, impaired judgment, drowsiness/unconsciousness, coma, or death. Barbiturates can be taken through injections or orally through capsules.
