Barbiturates were first developed in 1864 by Adolf von Baeyer and were widely distributed by the Farbwerke Fr Bayer and Co in 1904. Barbiturates offered new treatment to patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders profoundly improving their prognoses. Barbiturates were also used to treat sleep disorders and were the first drugs to effectively treat epileptic seizures. Due to safety concerns related to drug dependence and overdose and new safer psychoactive medications barbiturate use sharply declined in the 1950s. PMID: 18568113 Butabarbital is barbiturate used as a sleep aid and to relieve anxiety prior to surgical procedures. Its affects are quickly felt but the length of their duration is short when compared to other barbiturates. Butabarbital can be very dangerous when taken in conjunction with alcohol and as a result is seldom used clinically outside of Eastern European and South American countries.
