  FRONTLINE: the meth epidemic: the quaalude lesson | PBS
At one time, the sleeping pill Quaalude was as big a problem in the United States as heroin and cocaine.
If the successful strategy the DEA pursued in cracking down on Quaaludes had been followed when meth surfaced a few years later, experts say it is unlikely the meth epidemic would ever have happened.
When meth abuse started appearing on the West Coast in the mid-80s, Haislip and his colleagues at the DEA were confident that with a new chemical control law for meth's key ingredients, ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, meth too would be beaten.

 The Insite - Me, Myself and I: Drugs
Quaaludes, also known as "methaquaalone," "ludes," "sopes," "soapers," or "Q's" are a special kind of downer called sedative-hypnotics.
Like alcohol, Quaaludes makes users feel "freer." That means they are more likely to say or do things in social situations that they would not normally feel comfortable doing.
Quaaludes also make you less coordinated, so that talking, walking, and even the ability to use your hands and fingers for writing and picking things up is more difficult.

 Quaalude. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
The trademark Quaalude for the sedative and hypnotic agent methaqualone is an example of how a product name is carefully chosen for a positive public response.
Methaqualone was developed in the 1960s by William H. Rorer, Inc. At that time, the company's best-known product was Maalox, a digestive aid that derived its name from its ingredients, magnesium and aluminum hydroxides.
The other elements of the name are presumed to be a contraction of the phrase quiet interlude, a soothing, even poetic description of the drug's effect.

 Erowid Methaqualone (Quaalude) Vault: Basics
Methaqualone (Quaalude) is a sedative/hypnotic central nervous system depressant similar to barbiturates.
It is most often taken orally in tablet and produces a range of effects including light sedation, euphoria and sleep at lower doses to unconsciousness and sometimes seizures at high doses.

 Lymond at Mac.com - The Quaalude
Someone in the class (possibly me, but it was a long time ago) remarked that the poem was so boring it should have been called "The Quaalude" (a prescription drug popular at that time, the effects of which were to make the [ab]user silly and droolingly stupid).
I posted the "Quaalude" printout outside of the office I shared with three other teaching assistants, along with an envelope containing copies of the variant ditto version that my friend had produced.
This led to a small pseudo-research project that flourished for a few weeks: the attempt by some of the more stressed graduate students among us to produce a "variorum Quaalude" that would reconcile the manuscript with the ditto and the printout, along with a complete "scholarly" apparatus.

 JODO SHINSIHU IN AMERICAN SOCIETY
The Chinese youths were involved with an epidemic of Quaalude abuse.
Basically, they’re sitting in a chair, slobbering all the time, so that’s why some of them said they like it, but there were a few kids in the Chinese youth study that said that Quaalude gave them all the same benefits that alcohol gives you, the feelings that alcohol gives you.
You don’t throw up, and you don’t have any of the side effects; so Quaalude was a drug that gave you the benefit of alcohol without the negative side effects or problems.

 InteliHealth:
Although alcohol is also a depressant, alcohol is so common that health experts classify alcohol-related problems separately.
If the person suddenly stops taking the drug, the body's accustomed internal environment changes drastically, causing symptoms of withdrawal: anxiety, tremors, nightmares, insomnia, poor appetite, rapid pulse, rapid breathing, blood pressure abnormalities, dangerously high fever and seizures.
With short-acting medications — pentobarbital (Nembutal), secobarbital (Seconal), alprazolam (Xanax), meprobamate (Miltown, Equanil), methaqualone (Quaalude) — withdrawal symptoms begin 12 to 24 hours after the last dose and peak at 24 to 72 hours.
