-- Posted by Dr Hannibal Lecter on 10:33 pm on Oct. 25, 2001     Here are the names of the most common barbiturates, as youŽll see, there will be a number after each name, followed by another number. The first one is the calculated (it depends on the age, healthness, etc. of each person) lethal dose in grams, and the second one indicates the number of days that the victim will spend in a coma before the death. So here they are:  Alobarbital               2                      3  Amobarbital             1.5                   5  Aprobarbital             2                      5  Barbital                    2                      5  Butabarbital             2                      3  Fenobarbital            1.5                   7  Heptabarbital           2                      3  Hexobarbital            2                      2  Mefobarbital             2                      5  Metarbital                 2                      5  Metohexital              1                      3  Pentobarbital           1                      3  Probarbital               2                       3  Secobarbital             2                      3  Talbutal                    2                       5  Tiamilal                     1                       1  Tiopental                  1                       1 -- Posted by Cypher on 4:38 am on Nov. 5, 2001 whats a barbiturate? -- Posted by dellexo on 1:30 pm on Jan. 3, 2002 Barb's are a very strong class of drugs used for inducing sleep in anesthetics,sleeping tablets and epilepsy.This group of drugs were commonly used as sleeping pills back in the 60's and 70's,but they are very very dangerous in overdose and coused loads of deaths.Most sleeping/anti anxiety tablets nowdays are of the benzodiazapine class which are a lot lot safer in high doses:biggrin: barb's are still used to induce anesthesia in hospitals as well as to controll certain types of epilepsy.I have tried getting hold of some for years but allas,no joy:sad: (Mr. Mushrooms: Was gonna delete this but this info is quite useful for anyone who wants it so it's locked instead.)
