i've been hearing about use of meprobamate, a centrally acting muscle reaxant with GABAergic actions somewhat similar to barbiturates. i know it is a metabolite of carisoprodol(Soma; both are also carbamates), which i don't find recreational or euphoric but some do.
i've tried meprobamate and can say it was way better than carisoprodol, which is why the DEA decided to make it a schedule 4 controlled substance.
now even though meprobamate is better than carisoprodol, i didn't think it lived up to what others say of it. first off, even though it feels more like a barbiturate it isn't any better than phenobarbital(the least recreational barb around). to me it produced barb like reduction in muscle control while not having much mental impairment like a barb. there was little euphoria, euphoric benzos like temazepam or clonazepam had more "true" euphoria. however meprobamate produced relaxation and self-content similar to a couple alcoholic drinks.
i would rate meprobamate between strong benzos and "other" benzos, like how i rate phenobarbital. it was actually similar to phenobarbital, just with less drowsiness/impairment but with similar relaxation of muscles(actually a little better at that with an added pain killing effect).
i'm not sure if its still perscribed as drugs that have barb like actions are rather dangerous, and i think benzos and carisoprodol have replaced it's medical use.
for those who have experience with meprobamate, what was it like for you? how would you rate/compare it?
