Discussion»Questions»Health and Wellness» The Rolling Stones sang in the '60's about Mother's Little Helper, meaning speed. What is Mother's Little Helper today?
It was used to treat anxiety and depression under the false assumption it was safer than barbiturates and while unrelated, worked on many of the same receptor binding sites as them with strong effects on thalamus and on the GABA receptors but with much less sedation. Rarely used and r3placed with benzodiazepines.
I awarded you because you were the only one so far that answered the two parts of this question. Probably because you were a teacher and you understand tests and quizzes.
Nope, it was Milltown, another yellow anxyolytic pill . Marketed in 1950s and early 60s as a safer alternative to barbiturates but replaced by benzodiazepines like valium.
I think now a days mothers little helper is E - eBay. In the 80's I worked in a auto plant and started suffering from depression (or something like that). The doctor gave me valium - I didn't like it and when I told him I didn't want another prescription he argued with me and kept asking me if I was sure I didn't want more. I bet it wasn't my health he cared about it was getting a kick back from the prescription he wrote. Cheers!
