Valium, Xanax, and other depressants that work by reducing the function of the Central Nervous System.

Actually, barbiturates and benzodiazepines are classes of drugs. So, the original question is problematic. (Also, just as a side note, the very definition of a depressant is that it inhibits/slows the working of the Central Nervous System.)

Although, barbiturates and benzodiazepines produce similar effects and are often used for similar purposes, drugs fall into one category or the other. Valium, Xanax, Librium, etc., are all benzodiazepines whereas as Fiorocet is an example of a barbiturate.
