Just thought I'd add that Equanil is actually a compound-drug of meprobamate (the classic tranquilizer; non-barbiturate) and aspirin. Miltown is meprobamate alone. It acts very similarly to barbiturates. However, if you've ever been prescribed Soma (carisoprodol) as a muscle-relaxer and found the anxiolytic effects of it to be better than those of the bzd's, you may like Miltown better-- Soma is metabolized very quickly to meprobamate in your body.
