Going through my GARAGE, cleaning up what happens when you live closest to two parents who die, both of which never threw anything out every in their entire adult lives, I came across one of my father's PDRs. 1979. he had "decreased libido" underlined in the valium section.
Parest was 400 mg of methaqualone hydrochloride. Quaaludes were eitehr 150 or 300 of the base. Tuinal was secobarbital and amobarbital in equal doeses.
And, How one forgets - - - a compound that was time release amphetamine AND amobarbital in one "spansule". This book is PACKED with insane fun making things, hell there must be 10 pages on Valium - then the most used and abused drug out there, it took over after Miltown and was replaced with quaalutes.
It was packed with uppers from dextro amphetamine to ampehtamine "resin", time release, tablets, and the prettiest little capsules in all sorts of sexy shapes.
What is interesting is what is NOT in there. No norco, no 10 mg hydrocodone. No oxymorphone, no compounds with more than 10 mg of oxycodone, there were no Dilaudid 8 mg doses. the book is heavy on sedatives - PACKED with them and light on the opioids - but you could get dilaudid cough syrup and you could get opium supositories.
Another thing it had a whole lot of was anti-biotics with names some of us remember.
