Yes, painkillers are depressants. But remeber, they still taste help you out, so they're not all that ad!Bad!
I'v heard of four categories, if that's what you're after; Depressants, Stimulants, Hallucinogens, and I think the fourth was Painkillers?
Many painkillers are depressants. Along with relieving pain, they depress, or slow down normal body functions- including eliminating wastes.
A depressant drug does not actually make you depressed. It's called a depressant because it slows your system down, slower heart rate and breathing. People take depressants such as painkillers (pills,opium and heroin) or benzodiazapines such as Xanax and Valium because they relax you and in the case of painkillers give you a body high that makes you feel numb and good.
No, Aleve (naproxen) and other painkillers are not considered downers. Aleve is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that primarily reduces pain and inflammation but does not have sedative effects. "Downers" typically refer to depressants, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines, which slow down the central nervous system. Painkillers can vary in their effects, but NSAIDs like Aleve do not fall into the category of downers.
Both are narcotic/opiate pain killers the lortab being much stronger than the darvocet.They are both CNS depressants my concern here is the high dose of Tylenol each of these painkillers contain.I would not recommend taking these together
Alcohol, sedatives, other benzodiazepines (Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, etc.), opiates (Percocet, Vicodin, Codeine, Morphine, Hydromorphone, etc.), other prescription painkillers (propoxyphene, fentanyl, etc.), CNS depressants and barbituates (butylbarbital, phenobarbital, etc.)
alcohol is under the category of depressants
You don't take depressants. You take anti-depressants, which counters being depressed.
Hey You know how made painkillers?
no, that would be ANTI-depressants....
Depressants slow (or depress) the functioning of the entire body.
Depressants slow (or depress) the actions of the lungs, heart, and other organs.
