Nitrazepam (Mogadon) Dependence

Pragya Misra

Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

Evidences suggest that the predisposed individual can develop dependence to various tranquillizers even to the extent of physical dependence similar to that seen with the barbiturates. Dependence can develop to benzodiazepine derivatives, and cases have been reported mainly for chlordiazepoxide, diazepam and oxazepam. These drugs can also produce withdrawal reactions (Hollister et al., 1963; Barten, 1965; Krypsin-Exner, 1966; Bakewell and Wikler, 1966; Essing, 1966; Gordon, 1967; Ewing and Bakewell, 1967; Hanna, 1972).
