⟩ Please tell me about some drugs that can cross the blood brain barrier?

Any drug that is designed to be given orally, i.m. s.c. or i.v. and acts on the brain MUST cross the blood-brain barrier.

E.g. Opiates, anxiolytics, SSRI's, anti-psychotics

Drug needs to be lipid (fat) soluble to cross the BBB.
