What ever happened to this drug? It helped me so much to function but also relieved all kinds of pain in my body. I know it is an older drug from the 60's but it was a God send to me. Today I am on pain meds that don't work that well, and my mind races which is exhausting. I wish I knew of someone who still makes it.

Meprobomate is classified by the FDA as a tranquilizer, it is still available, but is rarely prescribed, now, since it has been replaced with safer, and more effective medications. They also warn that it can cause physical dependence with long-term use, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness, sedation, and the formation of bezoars that may require surgical removal.
Overdoses have also been known to be fatal.

You can still get Meprobamate. I obtained it at an Osco Drugstore last month. You simply have to ask your physician, and if he/she will not prescribe it, ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. The key here is to just call around to a few pharmacies. Also, most insurance companies have their own in-house pharmacies and their pharmacists can provide you to the manufacturers, who can in turn point you to the pharmacies they supply to. I hope this helps.
