AB  - Many  agents  can  depress  the  function  of  the  central  nervous  system  and  produce  calming  or  drowsiness  (sedation).  The  CNS  depressants  discussed  in  this  chapter  include  benzodiazepines,  other  benzodiazepine  receptor  agonists  (the  "Z  compounds"),  barbiturates,  and  sedative-hypnotic  agents  of  diverse  chemical  structure.  Older  sedative-hypnotic  drugs  depress  the  CNS  in  a  dose-dependent  fashion,  progressively  producing  a  spectrum  of  responses  from  mild  sedation  to  coma  and  death.
