Respiratory depression?

does barbiturate overdoses depress respiration faster than heroin overdoses or slower than heroin overdoses or at the same speed as heroin overdoses? i know that both do one and the same thing but barbiturates target gaba receptors whereas heroin target opiate receptors
Answers:
The barbiturates that I use (pentothal, methohexital) accomplishment more quickly than opiates near regard to respiratory depression. If you're chitchat about oral meds, I ponder the specific drugs, the dosages of those drugs, and factors that affect incorporation would all play a role.

The dose of heroin would also be a factor.
