Seconal is a barbiturate, a SERIOUS sedative which most doctors won't prescribe. It contributed to the deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Jimi Hendrix. If your friend was trying to commit suicide, she was serious. It's nearly impossible to kill yourself with Xanax or any of the other benzodiazapines. But Seconal, especially when combined with alcohol or other CNS depressants can be quite deadly. I hope your friend is OK and if the Seconal was prescribed, she should avoid the bozo who prescribed it.
