Hey! Has anyone tried this drug? (Miltown/Equanil, AKA meprobamate). Everything I've read about it says it was a big deal in the 50's-Miltown parties, the works- and then the benzos did it in, but it seems like its still prescribed a good bit. I've done the benzo thing (Librium, Klonopin, Ativan, Xanax), so this med kind of piques my interest. Plus, its also a muscle-relaxer (soma actually breaks down into meprobamate), which seems like it could be good for the physical side of tension...plus, one report I read said that it has effects on a multiplicity of brain areas. Any experiences, thoughts, etc.? Its schedule IV controlled-substance, just like all the benzos (except Rohypnol), so it mustn't be too addictive.
