Well there's the Well known BuSpar, but thats not really a drug class, just one drug.
Here's the Chronological List of Substances used
1) Alchohol
2) Opiates
3) Chloral Hydrate
4) Barbiturates
5) Benzodiazepines
6) Who KnowsThis century should come out with a new class by 2099, or we are really behind. Maybe have some auto-stablizing drug without any sedating effects to keep down abuse, may come, or maybe drugs will be obsolete.
Just something to think about.

In reply to wander whats after the benzodiazepine's..........?, posted by 1980Monroe on June 28, 2004, at 22:28:23
I'll tell you what's after them. A drug called Ocinaplon, or something like it, which is anxio-selective. That means it operates on anxiety, period. Basically, the substance works like benzos, but without the attendant side affects (alcohol potentiation, amnesia, withdrawal syndrome, sleep induction, and general clumsiness). It mechanism of action is on the certain subtypes of the GABA-A receptor, some of which are responsible for sediation, other's for anxiety, and other's for alcohol interaction. Ocinaplon is specific to the subtype which modules anxiety. So that's what's next.
This is the end of the thread.
