I believe it was Sigmund Freud who said that dream comes from memories in our unconscious mind. He was right. Sometimes when we are asleep, we begin to remember stuff from our unconscious memories (stuffs that we had sensed but did not took a big notice of or that are not of high-priorities) at random. e.g a book U saw briefly on the Library shelve, the voice of the 6 O-clock news lady, the smell of a co-workers cologne or the funny shape of a friends head. Our Brain would throw all these random memories together and make a narrative smoothie out of em. This smoothie is dream.
For the above example, you might come up with a dream about your friend reading the 6 o-clock news to you out of that book you saw at the library, but he is smelling exactly like your co-worker. This is why dreams don't make sense most of the time. but this is just my theory.

SQ drugs are isotonic, nonirritating, water soluble, non-vicious e.g. Insulin, epi, allergy meds, narcotics and heparins. NSAIDs are analgesics too.
Antianxieties have similar effects as sedative-hypnotics. They can treat anxiety/panic attacks.
Benzodiazepines belong to anti-anxiety:- they are lipid-soluble and 80%-90% protein bound. Valiums are best absorbed IM via deltoid muscle. S-E includes hypotension, contraindication includes glaucoma, CNS depression, hypersensitivity, pregnancy, lactation, MAOI.
Sulfomides:- inhibits bacterial production of folic acid which is essential for their growth. treat urinary tract infections (E-coli), ear infections, frequent or long-lasting bronchitis, bacterial meningitis, certain eye infections, (Pneumocystis carinii) pneumonia, traveler's diarrhea, and a number of other kinds of infections. These drugs will not work for colds, flu, and other infections caused by viruses. Also called sulfa medicines, are available only with a physician's prescription. They are sold in tablet and liquid forms. Some commonly used sulfonamides are sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin) and the combination drug sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Cotrim). S-E includes hypersensitivity, coughs, headaches and weakness. The drug passes into breast milk and can cause liver failure in infants. They have good GI absorption rate.
Cross-tolerance
Narcotics
Adrenergic drugs: pain relievers
Sedative-hypnotics should not be withdrawn suddenly to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Barbiturates are example of sedative-hypnotics
Seco-barbital is a short-acting sedative-hypnotic
