  • Title: [Experimental study of the "'rebound syndrome" following discontinuation of prolonged phenazepam administration and possibilities for preventing it].
    Author: Voronina TA, Garibova TL.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1981; 81(7):1056-9. PubMed ID: 7197446.
    Abstract:
    Phenazepam given to rats in a daily dose of 2 mg/kg intraperitoneally for a long (30 days) time ceased to produce the sedative effect, and discontinuation of the medication led to development of the so-called "recoil syndrome" characterized by general depression and disturbances of the conditioned-reflex activity. The "recoil syndrome" was distinguished for a selective specificity, since its motor and sensor manifestations were eliminated only by benzodiazepine derivatives (phenazepam, diazepam). Drugs from other chemical slasses (meprobamate, trioxazine, amipazin) did not influence this syndrome.
