Can you please explain how phenabarbital puts you to sleep when it was used for sleep.caused me shallow breathing and eyes rollin unable to wake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phenobarbital: Is a strong sedative and is not the best med for sleep. You either took too much or had a paradoxical action from it. Do not use this for sleep.
