Quaaludes (methqualone) was abandoned in favor of safer sorts of anti-anxiety medications.  The original generation of sedatives was the barbiturates, but these were very dangerous, since they exert their depressant effects on the parts of the CNS (the hind brian) that control life functions like breathing--hence, overdose could easily result in death (in fact, in California right now, they're trying to use a lethal dose of barbiturates to kill a person sentenced to die; these were the drugs also used in the Heaven's Gate mass suicide).\n\nSince barbiturates were so dangerous, doctors sought a drug that would act as a depressant but exert its effects specifically on the parts of the brain that do NOT control life-sustaining functions.  Methqualone was an improvement on barbiturates, but after the so-called "hypnotics" like Diazepam (aka Valium), these sorts of hindbrain CNS depressants were largely abandoned.  Quaaludes are far more dangerous than things like Valium and Ambien, so the FDA kicked out methqualone in favor of the other new generation of hypnotics (especially since 'ludes were being abused, and abuse can result in death, especially if mixed with other depressants).

Plug it into http://search2.drugs.com/ in parts.  From what I can tell it might be one of at least three different things.  I tried 'par' under imprint and white as shape, and 879 as imprint and white as shape and came up with different things - nothing for both par and 879.  \n\nIt *is* a prescription drug, but it is probably not a narcotic.

When looking into the PAST for treatment of ANY psychiatric illnesses, you won't find much. \n\nHistorically, the treatments for Bi-polar or any other psychiatric disorder included:\n1. Sanitariums. Locking people up for life without treatment of any kind. If you go back far enough you will find the "Ship of Fools". This was essentially a floating sanitarium where different towns and cities would park their "crazy" people and condemn them to a life of drifting from one port to another.\n\n2. Lobotomies. A lobotomy is a surgical procedure that consists of cutting the connections to and from, or simply destroying, the prefrontal cortex. These procedures often result in major personality changes. The use of the lobotomy was still in effect until the early 1970s!!! The use of the lobotomy was horribly abused over the years as a means of controlling specific people or populations. Read "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Glass Menagerie" for some interesting accounts.\n\n3. Thorazine. This drug became widely used in the 70's and is still used today. It is the chemical equivalent of a lobotomy. The phrase the "Thorazine Shuffle" came to describe the movements of patients taking the drug. Thorazine would so heavily sedate all of the brains functions so that a person on large doses could do little more than shuffle their feet and mumble their words.\n\n4. Electro-Convulsive Therapy, Insulin shock therapy and malarial therapy. All of these were used to induce seizures in the hopes of creating a "reset" button for the brain.\n\n5. Lithium came into use as a treatment for bi-polar in the 1960's and was a welcome change to the treatments listed here. Though Lithium is toxic, when administered and monitored properly has been very successful in treating bi-polar disorder.\n\nCurrently, new drugs are being discovered that treat bi-polar without the toxic side effects of Lithium. It's all trial and error since no one knows how or why Lithium or any current drugs work in terms of treating bi-polar. They just know it does.

Look up Ibogaine.  For treatment of withdrawals from meth,horoine, etc I know someone who took it.  It is a hallucinagin (sp) but is non addicting.  It can be purchased in Canada.  I have witnessed someone trying the treatment.  In fact, last week.\n\nBy the way, good luck.  I believe you are not exagerating when you call it torment.

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the major drugs making up the hallucinogen class of drugs. Hallucinogens cause hallucinations—profound distortions in a person’s perception of reality. Hallucinogens cause their effects by disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin. Distributed throughout the brain and spinal cord, the serotonin system is involved in the control of behavioral, perceptual, and regulatory systems, including mood, hunger, body temperature, sexual behavior, muscle control, and sensory perception
