Seconal (Secobarbital) Addiction and Abuse
Secobarbital relaxes your muscles and entire body by interacting with neurotransmitters in the brain, which results in a slowing down of brain function. This can reduce pain and result in significant drowsiness or even a blackout. Due to the powerful side effects of Seconal, you should only take this medication as prescribed by a doctor.
Secobarbital is a strong sedative drug, which makes it extremely dangerous when it is not taken at the correct dosage. This medication is intended to be used only for a short period of time.

Taking Seconal can result in some minor side effects, such as moderate drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, dry mouth, issues with memory and nausea. These effects tend to be more prominent in older patients. You should avoid drinking alcohol while on Seconal as this can exacerbate the drug’s effects on brain function and the central nervous system.
There have been reports of patients using the drug and engaging in activities such as driving a car, walking, eating, or making a phone call without having any memory of it. Always take this medication as directed and only when you plan on going to sleep. Never take Seconal while using other medications, especially other central nervous system depressants like barbiturates or alcohol, as this can lead to an accidental overdose -which can result in death.
Taking Seconal without a doctor’s prescription is dangerous and can even be life-threatening. If you are struggling with a substance use disorder and see no way out, there is hope.
