Answer:

PCP and Ketamine (D)

Explanation:

  Depressants, or depressive drugs, are drugs that decrease the level of activity in the brain.

    Ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP) are chemically similar drugs used for anesthesia.  Ketamine is available in powder or liquid form. The powder may be smelled or taken orally. The fluid may be injected intravenously, into a muscle (intramuscularly) or under the skin (subcutaneously).  Phencyclidine (PCP) is usually smoked but it can also be smelled or taken orally.

  The neuropharmacology of both drugs are similar and complex,  since they interacts with various types of  receptors at various binding sites, including  glutamate receptors, both NMDA (N-methyl-Daspartate) and non-NMDA; opiates; gabaergic;  serotonergics; besides acting, directly or indirectly,  on monoamines (acetylcholine, noradrenaline and  dopamine. But they act inhibiting the excitatory receptors (NMDA), resulting in a depressive effect in CNS (central nervous system).

  Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is used for the treatment of allergic reactions. It acts blocking the histamine 1 receptor (H1), resulting in a antihistamine effect and with anticholinergic side effects (such as  dryness) and sedatives. This drug also has a depressive effect, but its effect is more related to pheriperal nervous system.

Describe Inhalants appearance
hodyreva [135]
<h2>Answer: <u>Inhalants</u></h2><h2><em>What They Are: </em></h2>

<em>Inhalants are things that are breathed in to give the user an immediate rush, or high. They include glues, paint thinners, dry cleaning fluids, gasoline, felt-tip marker fluid, hair spray, deodorants, spray paint, and whipped cream dispensers (whippets). </em>

<em> </em>

<h2><em>Sometimes Called: </em></h2>

<em>whippets, poppers, snappers, rush, bolt, bullet </em>

<em> </em>

<h2><em>How They're Used: </em></h2>

<em>These are inhaled directly from the container (called sniffing or snorting), from a plastic bag (called bagging), or by holding an inhalant-soaked rag in the mouth (called huffing). </em>

<em> </em>

<h2><em>What They Do: </em></h2>

<em>Inhalants produce a quick feeling of being drunk — followed by sleepiness, staggering, dizziness, and confusion. Long-time users get headaches, nosebleeds, and sometimes lose their sense of smell. Inhalants decrease oxygen to the brain and can cause brain damage. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Using an inhalant just one time can lead to life-threatening health problems, and even cause death.</em>
