Opioid Agonists are generally used to treat moderate to severe pain typically associated with injury, surgery, or various health conditions. Opioid partial agonists bind to opioid receptor sites and works slowly in the body to help prevent withdrawals and reduce cravings for opioid drugs. Opiate partial agonists are used to treat opioid use disorder. Prescription opioid partial agonists include buprenorphine, butorphanol, and pentazocine. Benzodiazepines slow down the central nervous system, and often used to relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, as well as reduce seizures. Stimulants increase alertness and energy, enhancing focus. Stimulants are commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD). Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug, used to treat seizures and relieve pain. Naloxone is used to quickly reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, and works by attaching to opioid receptors, to reverse and block the effects of other opioids.
