meprobamate and Depression

meprobamate has been researched along with Depression in 50 studies

Meprobamate: A carbamate with hypnotic, sedative, and some muscle relaxant properties, although in therapeutic doses reduction of anxiety rather than a direct effect may be responsible for muscle relaxation. Meprobamate has been reported to have anticonvulsant actions against petit mal seizures, but not against grand mal seizures (which may be exacerbated). It is used in the treatment of ANXIETY DISORDERS, and also for the short-term management of INSOMNIA but has largely been superseded by the BENZODIAZEPINES. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p603)

Depression: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

Research Excerpts

Excerpt	Relevance	Reference
"Phenazepam given to rats in a daily dose of 2 mg/kg intraperitoneally for a long (30 days) time ceased to produce the sedative effect, and discontinuation of the medication led to development of the so-called "recoil syndrome" characterized by general depression and disturbances of the conditioned-reflex activity."	3.66	[Experimental study of the "'rebound syndrome" following discontinuation of prolonged phenazepam administration and possibilities for preventing it]. ( Garibova, TL; Voronina, TA, 1981)
