Abuse of the nonbarbiturate hypnotic, methaqualone, has quietly reached the proportions of a countrywide epidemic among students and others. Methaqualone abusers, caught up in its "love drug" mystique and seeking a dissociative "high," are oblivious to many of its dangers. Experience in Europe and elsewhere indicates that the drug has a marked potential for producing dependence and causes a severe withdrawal syndrome. Overdose problems include a predisposition to cardiovascular complications and convulsions, and vomiting in the unconscious patient.
