영문 초록

Carisoprodol is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It has been known that abusive potential of carisoprodol is due to meprobamate, its major metabolite. The authors report a case of carisoprodol dependent patient who was admitted to Youngin Mental hospital. The reason why he used carisoprodol was to relieve chronic pain, to forget physical disability caused by traffic accident, and to get high. The patient took 1750~3500 mg of carisoprodol for each time. During intoxication, he experienced floating sense, euphoria, sedation, dysarthria, ataxia and loss of consciousness. Insomnia was the only observed withdrawal symptom. He used the drug again soon after the discharge and was admitted to another hospital.
