        | increased duration of ion channel open decreased dissociation from receptor
 
 Facilitate action of GABA
 in high doses: can activate the receptor all by themselves.
 Usually cases and usually clinical doses it facilitates GABA.
 you have a 3 pronged complex, Receptor GABA and the BARB
 test will say its a nueronal nicotinic antagonist- only happens at super clinical doses. like with inducing a coma in an injured patient.
 
 Cl moves into the cell-> hyperpolarized cell--> inhibition of post synaptic membrane-->depression of the RAS
 decreased transmission through SNS
 -these arent great drugs to dampen the sympathetic nervous system.

 whats actually going on is you depress inhibitory before excitatory. lose inhibition first.
 *might see this with addicts that come to you clean, that person needs all their inhibitions to make them behave, if you sedate them and take away inhibitions that person goes nutzos
 synergistic with opiods, benzo's gasses all attack same receptor but different sites on receptor.
 Nueroprotective: dec re profusion injury and can dec.  damage of focal ischemia during anesthesia
