Opioid agonist mu-1 and mu-2 and kappa receptors.
side effects:
-Nausea
- Vomiting
• Demerol - Euphoria
- Dysphoria
- Respiratory Depression
Adverse effect: seizures
Antidote= naloxene

depression,
• Ativan
Side effects:
•
CNS: dizziness, drowsiness, lethargy, hangover, headache, ataxia, slurred speech,
forgetfulness, confusion, mental depression,
1. Anticonvulsant: stabilizes neuronal membranes and limits seizure activity by
either increasing efflux or decreasing influx of sodium ions across cell membranes
in the motor cortex during generation of nerve impulses.
2. Antiarrhythmic: normalizes sodium influx to Purkinje's fibers in patients with
induced dysrhythmias.
