noted.
Suicide Attempts
Several cases of meprobamate
intoxication have been reported,
resulting from the deliberate
swallowing of large amounts of
the drug-Suicide attempts as
with sleeping pills.
None of these attempts has
been successful. the council
said. but cases of suicide fol-
lowing long-term treatment by
more potent tranquilizers such
as reSerpine have been reported.
No definite antidote or treat
ment for overdosage has been
devised since meprobamate was
introduced two years ago.
The councils report said the
drug possesses habit forming
properties. with withdrawal
symptoms including commissions
in some cases when the drug
has been discontinued after
long use.
Dependence Seen
Furthermore, it said. physical
and psychological dependence
is undoubtedly created" in
some patients. Larger and
larger doses are sometimes
necessary to maintain the same
tranquilizing effect.
DR.. Sahl. however, said in his
report that among 6,675
patients there has been only
one instance each Of convul-
sions. generalized aching,
fainting spells and nose bleed.
He added that Government
agencies have made studies Of
the tranquilizers. including
meprobamate, and said they
have not classified any as
addicting or Informing
drugs"
Last year. however. a two
day conference on these drugs
was held in Washington. The
National Institutes of Health
have been granted a sizeable
appropriation to study the
long-term effects Of the drugs.
The conference OF medical ex-
perts from throughout the
