KINDS OF DRUGS Drugs are classified according to their usage: PRESCRIPTION DRUGS; OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS; and RECREATIONAL DRUGS.
DRUG TYPES The three main types of drugs, classified by their effects on the central nervous system are: DEPRESSANTS; STIMULANTS; and HALLUCINOGENS.
DEPRESSANTS Depressant drugs slow down, or depress, the functions of the central nervous system
EFFECTS In moderate doses, depressants can make you feel relaxed. Some depressants cause euphoria and a sense of calm and well-being. They may be used to 'wind down' or to reduce anxiety, stress or inhibition. Because they slow you down, depressants affect coordination, concentration and judgment.
DEPRESSANTS EFFECTS In larger doses, depressants can cause unconsciousness by reducing breathing and heart rate. A person's speech may become slurred and their movements sluggish and uncoordinated. Other effects of larger doses including nausea, vomiting and, in extreme cases, death. When taken in combination, depressants increase their effects and increase the danger of overdose.
