24. Sedative (CNS depressant) medications
Sedative medications depress (slow down or inhibit) the activity of the
central nervous system (CNS: comprising the brain and spinal cord),
causing a sense of relaxation, reduced anxiety and tension, sleepiness, and
slowed breathing. In higher doses, these medications can cause slurred
speech, an impaired ability to walk around, poor judgment, and slowed
reflexes. It is possible to overdose on such medications, with potentially
lethal effects (although some types of sedatives achieve lethal doses more
easily than others).
One of the most commonly prescribed group of sedatives is the
Benzodiazepines which include alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam
(Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), triazolam (Halcion),
temazepam (Restoril), and chlordiazepoxide (Librium).

BuSpar is an anti-anxiety medication that is not chemically related to
the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other sedative/anxiolytic drugs.

26. Antidepressant medications
Antidepressant medications derive their family name from their
function.They are used primarily to treat Major Depression and

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which includes Paxil,
Prozac and Lexapro, are the most commonly prescribed
antidepressant medications for this anti-anxiety, anti-stress purpose.

27. Beta Blockers
Beta blockers are medications that are typically used to control high
blood pressure and treat certain heart problems. For some people, these
medications can decrease stress symptoms. Beta-blockers such as
Inderal (propranolol) andTenormin (atenolol) block the action of the
neurotransmitter and hormone norepinepherine in the arteries and the
heart muscle, causing arteries to widen, slowing the action of the heart,
and decreasing the force of contraction.The most common negative
side effects of beta-blockers are cold hands and feet, tiredness and sleep
disturbance (i.e., nightmares). Less common side effects of beta blocker
use include impotence, dizziness, wheezing, digestive tract problems,
skin rashes and dry eyes.

28. Nutritional Supplements
Various nutritional supplements, including Kava, Passion flower,
Valerian, 5-HTP; and the herbs Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora),
Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), Hops (Humulus Lupulus),
