Best Answer

Sedatives are things that relax you and slow down body functions, also called depressants. They include things like alcohol and most prescription pain relievers as well as muscle relaxants and things like Valium.

Tranquilizers/anesthetics impair nerve communication between brain and body. Things like ketamine and dextromethorphan are tranquilizers.

What they give you when you are nervous an hour before surgery is a sedative, what they give you right before hand that knocks you out and stops you from feeling anything is a tranquilizer/anesthetic.
