Schizophrenia-like Psychosis Following ‘Mandrax’ Overdose
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
In recent years a number of new hypnotics have been introduced which are claimed to give a more natural sleep than barbiturates, and to be free from the dangers of addiction and of respiratory depression when taken in overdosage. Among these drugs is methaqualone, which is used either on its own (Melsed), or in combination with the antihistamine diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Mandrax).
