There are also some good effects of the tranquilizers which even the opponents of ataraxis agree upon. |

Escape from the world into transcendence or Epicurean ataraxis were not sufficient. |
|
This is a significant advantage over the use of barbiturates, at any rate, in providing significant ataraxis without corresponding hypnosis. |
|
The second question posed was whether or not this type of sedation is different from the classical type of sedation seen with hypnotics and from the ataraxis produced by the anti-psychotic drugs. |

The less initiated often enjoy substantial reduction of anxiety neurosis from inert chemicals because they have both the faith and the desire for ataraxis. |
|
The will, too, can become overly dominant to such an extent that feeling is despised and apathia or ataraxis becomes the ideal, as in ancient Stoicism. |
|
The Stoics used to employ the term ataraxis to refer to this state of equanimity, and according to many, it is desirable to be free of passion, neither loving nor disliking. |
|
Ataraxis is especially recommended for the management of allergic disorders such as urticaria and atopic eczema. |
