A member asked:
Can a barbiturate sleeping pill given to a teen cause him to be limp and eyes rolling and hard to wake in the morning? or is this a seizure
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Those are all side effects of barbiturates. They can persist for a day or longer, depending on the medication. Is the medicine prescribed for the teen? Or is he taking someone else's medicine? Personally, i don't prescribe barbiturates to teens.
