In the 1960s, methaqualone - sold in the United States as the
trademark Quaalude - was widely prescribed as a treatment for
insomnia and anxiety. However, it soon became apparent that
quaaludes were highly addictive and had a strong potential for
recreational abuse. Throughout the 1960s and '70s, quaaludes were
extremely popular due to their ability to produce a drunk-like
state without a hangover. After years of scientific research
revealed the harmful short- and long-term effects of using
quaaludes, the drugs were made illegal and pulled from the market
in most countries. However, quaaludes continue to be abused in many
developing nations. ""Quaaludes"" covers the history of the drugs,
the physical and psychological effects, their impact on the brain,
their dangers of use and abuse, the portrayal of quaaludes in the
media, and treatments for quaalude addiction. Chapters of this
title include: An Overview of Depressant Drugs; What Are
Quaaludes?; Past and Present Use of Quaaludes; The Neuroscience of
Quaalude Use; The Physical and Psychological Effects of Quaaludes;
Quaaludes in the Popular Media; and, Problems Associated with the
Use of Quaaludes.
