Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Prescription CNS depressants act on the brain by increasing activity of GABA, a chemical that slows brain activity. People who start taking prescription CNS depressants usually feel sleepy and uncoordinated at first. They can also have poor concentration, confusion, lowered blood pressure, and slowed breathing.
