[edit] Statistics

what about statistics?

i'm new to this, but i would like to mention that in the mechanism of action section, there needs to be a total redo. but beyond that, the article implies that barbituates have a similar mechanism of action as benzodiazepines, however it would be important to mention that barbituates increase *duration* of Cl channel opening and benzodiazepines increase *frequency* of opening, this is important because it separates the anxiolytic effects of benzodiazepines versus the sedative effects of barbituates.

Sedative = anxiolytic = tranquilising, means the same thing. Hypnotic is sleep inducing. Benzodiazepines have sedative and hypnotic properties as do barbiturates. Anyway the difference in mechanism of action at the GABA_A receptor is important and is relevant to the increased overdose risk so I added it into the mechanism of action section.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 16:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Headline text

[edit] It's nice to have a picture

This picture is of non-descript pills, downloaded from http://www.morguefile.com/archive/?display=18993&. There's no indication from source that they are barbiturates. __meco 09:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template Rampage

Wow, someone really went on a template rampage... and the wrong templates were used too. Instead of the one that says 'this section does not cite any sources...' or whatever, the more appropriate template would have been the one about the sources being mentioned but there not being enough citations (because for some of the flagged sections, references are clearly given but just not footnoted) and that template could just be put at the top of the page, instead of being inserted into every section. (Was someone maybe just having a bad day?) Hmm, maybe it's just time Wikipedia started making templates that warn about bad usage of templates. Then we could put even more templates on this page.

For the record, much of the flagged information is accurate--what do you do when you know something off the top of your head but need to prove that some other guy on some other website said that it was true? That's not a good reason for deletion--I mean, when it's accurate but just not cited. Regardless, I found this page pretty amusing. 67.42.233.138 (talk) 15:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Template frenzy indeed! As noted above, much of the information is sourced but not properly referenced. Fixed one section (Truth serum), but more work needed and article would still benefit from consolidation. 84.92.241.186 (talk) 22:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Yea it was very excessive. I have removed the templates as there is no more need for them.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 16:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pharmacology Collaboration of the Month

This article has been selected as the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Month for July. Please help us improve the article towards good or featured status. Dr. Cash (talk) 04:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I dunno about getting it up to a featured or good article, not too many editors joining in. I just spent the past 4 hours clearing out some junk, rearranging the text into more appropriate sections and referencing uncited data and adding in some relevant data. Hopefully more editors will join in.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 16:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

We got a couple of useful edits, mostly cleaning up. Though not as much. I think I'll nominate this for peer review and see if we can get additional comments,...

Next month's collaboration of the month ought to be more popular, though. Dr. Cash (talk) 21:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brallobarbital calcium

I am a man who suffered from cronicle insomnia and a very high metabolism.My insomnia was treated by vesparax (3 per night)and was function wery well with out any sideeffect.I was medicated for over 35 years when the millenium entered and vesparax was out of production.In the beginning of the year of 200 I was founding sekobarbital sodium and to have somehelp to stabilize the doze I have to take thiopental,but it was not good inough.After meny years I get fenemal as my dozestabiliser,but it is far from what brallobarbital calcium can achive.If I had Brallobarbital Calsium I could reduce my intake of the medicine with 200 mg barbiturates,but WHERE CAN I FOUND BRALLOBARBITAL CALCIUM?
