  • No barbituates and benzodiazapines along with alcohol are classified as Depressants. The reason they are called depressants is because they depress or slow down your heart etc.
  • Although both are depressants, they each have their own class as a CNS Depressant. Barbiturates have largely been replaced by benzodiazapines.
