Abstract

1. Meprobamate in high dosage seems to be of value in the treatment of some chronic schizophrenic patients. If it is, it will exert its clinical effects in a relatively short time.

2. High dosage meprobamate seems efficacious in the facilitation of abreactive recall, even when the drug alone is not sufficient to bring about a clinical change.

3. The absence of side-effects other than transient somnolence makes meprobamate a relatively easy drug to use in a controlled inpatient setting.

4. Further studies seem indicated to evaluate adequately large dosage meprobamate therapy in schizophrenia.
