The current research examined neuropsychological symptoms experienced by non-medical prescription sedative users, medical users, past medical users, and non-users, to determine possible psychoneurological risks of non-medical prescription sedative use. The sample included 412 adults. Results showed that medical users reported significantly more neuropsychological symptoms compared to non-medical users and non-users.
