Muscle relaxation is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[sedation]] and [[anxiety suppression]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[depressant]] compounds, such as various [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]], [[GABAergic|GABAergics]] and [[opioid|opioids]]. However, it can also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]].</onlyinclude> | Muscle relaxation is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[sedation]] and [[anxiety suppression]].
