  • Title: Use of barbiturates and benzodiazepines in treatment of epilepsy.
    Author: Vining EP.
    Journal: Neurol Clin; 1986 Aug; 4(3):617-32. PubMed ID: 3528811.
    Abstract:
    Barbiturates and benzodiazepines may be very effective in controlling seizures, especially status epilepticus. However, their chronic use may be associated with serious sedative-hypnotic effects that interfere with cognitive function and behavior. When utilized, patients must be carefully monitored to be certain that these side effects are not occurring.
