Barbituates can be very sedating. Yes, they help with anxiety but at the expense of being alert & functional. BZDs do a much better job for most people. Also a person is much more likely to develop tolerance & addiction to barbituates than BZDs. They're still used when a person needs sedating after a very traumatic incidence.
