Quaalude (Methaqualone HCL)
Quaalude Information
History
Quaalude (Methaqualone, Sopor) was first synthesised in India in 1955 by M.L.Gujral and was soon introduced to Japanese and European consumers as a safe barbiturate substitute.
But experience has shown that its excessive use leads to tolerance, dependence and withdrawal symptoms similar to those of barbiturates.
By 1965 it was the most commonly prescribed sedative in Britain.
In England, it has been sold legally under the names Malsed, Malsedin, and Renoval. In 1965 Methaqualone and an antihistamine combination were sold as the sedative drug Mandrax by Rousell Laboratories.
At about the same time (1965) it was starting to become a popular recreational drug named mandies or mandrake.
In 1972 it was the sixth best selling sedative on the market in the United States, where it was legally sold by the name of Quaalude, and luding out, was a popular college pastime.
Because of its alleged aphrodisiac and euphoric qualities it was known as the love drug at that time (the 70s). Guys would say to girls "Let's do some ludes and fuck". Some girls would say "Yes" and others would say "No".
It has been used as a hypnotic in the short term management of insomnia and as a sedative but has been withdrawn from the market due to problems with abuse.
Dose: THERAPEUTIC RANGE: 150mg - 300mg at night OR 75mg four times a day.
In the United States, the marketing of methaqualone pharmaceutical products stopped in 1984 and methaqualone was transferred to Schedule I of the CSA making it an illegal substance in USA as well as a number of other countries.
In general, Qualudes are very similar to alcohol and other depressants. Methaqualone combines both sedative and hypnotic properties. The drug produces depression of the central nervous system (a reduction in the heart and breathing rate and blood pressure) and the onset of its effects usually occurs within 10 to 20 minutes of ingestion and may last 6 to 10 hours when taken orally.
Small doses create a feeling of euphoria, relaxation, hornyness, and/or sleepiness. Larger doses can bring about depression, irrational behavior, poor reflexes and slurred speech.
Negative effects can include a high level of tolerance (you need more to produce the same feeling), reduced heart rate, reduced respiration, and reduced muscular coordination.
Some street names it has been sold as are Disco Biscuits, Down And Dirtys, Fuckers, Joe Fridays, Lemmon 714, Lemons, Lennons, Lovers, Ludes, Mandies, Mandrake, Q, qua, quaa, quack, Quad, Qualudes, Soaper, Supper, Vitamin Q, The Love Drug, Wallbangers, Whore Pills, and on and on and on...
Overdose by methaqualone is more difficult to treat than barbiturate overdose, and deaths have occurred.
Overdose Symptoms: Delirium, coma, restlessness, hyperreflexia, hypertonia, myoclonus, convulsions, tachycardia. Cardiac and respiratory depression occurs less frequently than with barbiturate poisoning. Cardiac and hepatic damage, bleeding, vomiting, renal insufficiency.
Management of overdose: Get the person to a hospital right away. Overdose death is usually due to lung, liver, kidney, or heart failure.
Unfortunately, much of what is being passed on the streets today isn't all pure, so it's best to stay away from unless you are sure of what you are getting. A lot of what gets sold as ludes, is really valium. This is because valium produces a feeling that is somewhat similar to ludes.
