Depressants can take several forms. They can be found in different pills, e.g. sleeping pills, and can also be found in beverages, such as alcohol. No matter what form the drug is in, it still does the same thing to your body. Depressants slow you down. They slow down your Central Nervous System and in doing this, slow down every part of your body. This includes your thought process, your digestion and your reactions. Depressants can be very dangerous drugs!
