I was generalizing barbiturates, Ed... I know phenobarbital is on the low end of the scale but its pointless today except for perhaps esoteric epilepsy cases with a nearly 50 year modern history of safe benzodiazepines that can be dialed as high as is recommended or necessary (and combined as suggested before) with due caution to operation of machinery, etc, etc, as with all CNS depressants.
