A series of 16 cases with carisoprodol abuse or dependence is described. Carisoprodol was started by the majority of patients as a substitute for opiates, although its independent distinct effects, similar to the features of hypomania, were recognized and described by most users. The drug is currently available freely over the counter and is a much cheaper substitute for the legally prohibited "harder" drugs. Unless awareness spreads and cautionary measures are taken, carisoprodol abuse might become a great menace in the near future. Accepted for publication May 20, 1993 |
