For the most part, barbiturates are not used very often. I wanted to cover the class of barbiturates because it's a word that gets used when we're talking about drug use in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Ever wondered about the drugs that once dominated the medical world? In this episode of 'All Things Substance', Betsy Byler dives into the fascinating history and complex nature of barbiturates. These older drugs were once the go-to for everything from anxiety relief to sleep aids, but their story is far from straightforward. Betsy, a seasoned therapist and substance abuse counselor, guides listeners through the ups and downs of barbiturate use, revealing some surprising modern-day applications.
She covers the medical benefits, potential risks, and even the darker uses of these drugs, like their role in lethal injections and as so-called 'truth serums'. If you're curious about how these potent medications have shaped medical practices and what their future might hold, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're a therapist wanting to expand your knowledge or someone intrigued by medical history, Betsy's insights offer a thorough and engaging look at barbiturates.
