Hi,

In the past, phenobarbital was used as a treatment for anxiety/neurosis and also for insomnia. Like other barbiturates, phenobarbital is very sedating. If you look in old psychiatry textbooks, it is often stated that low doses of barbiturates can be prescribed for anxiety (often in three divided doses per day). A single (high) dose at night was used for insomnia.

Ed.
