Admin Attention GABA-type category for Other Drugs

[red22]

We currently have two categories for GABA-type substances in Other Drugs: Benzos, Gabapentinoids. … Not counting alcohol. Why don't we combine both of those into one all-encompassing category that also covers, e.g., GHB, thienodiazepines, baclofen, Soma, barbs, quaaludes, etomidate … We could call it GABAnergics, Gabaminergics, or just GABA.

That doesn't sound like a terrible idea. As Benzodiazepine prescriptions decreased, the vacuum has been partially taken over by other sedative/hypnotics like Carisoprodol (Soma). Let me talk to my colleaues.

Thanks. It might be better to just add more categories.
