yea it was really popular drug for about 10 years, it's related to Soma, the muscle relaxant, but meprobamate is both a nerve relaxant and muscle relaxant, but yea i read somewhere that benzo's where a bit more effective than meprobamate for treating anxiety, meprobamate was more just like a relax pill, yet could still have anxiety on it. I think it works on the spinal cord, and causes sedation, where as benzo's work directly on GABA in the brain......so you could get relaxed but still have anxiety on meprobamate.....i read alprazolam is superior for reducing panic attacks
still it was a popular drug that was effective but benzo's blew it out because of better side effects and mechanism of action
not a genius but understand pain
