Tybamate (Solacen), an analog of meprobamate, reportedly has an antagonistic effect on LSD-induced encephalographic changes in rabbits and a mildly stimulating effect on depressed patients. In a double-blind, controlled study with 102 outpatient alcoholics, tybamate (350 to 700 mg. four times daily) was not superior to meprobamate (400 to 800 mg. four times daily) or a placebo for the relief of symptoms common to alcoholics after one week of treatment. The large percentage of favorable placebo responders made demonstration of a superior treatment difficult.
