Abstract:
To divert from use of psychotropic drugs can take from of a classic toxicomania, sometimes isolated, frequently in association with other toxics: alcohol, opioids. Drugs frequently concerned are anxiolytics: benzodiazepines with a short half-life. Use during more than four months, dependent personality, are risk-factors. Among the other psychotropics, only certain stimulant antidepressants, like amineptine, justify of a particular attention. Drugs of which indication is not psychotropic can induce abuses: more than morphine itself, drugs including opioids or relating are in great demand by drug-addicts: antalgic like dextropropoxyphene or anticough like Neocodion, this one off the prescription. Anorectics, ephedrine vasoconstrictors and beta-stimulants abuse remains frequent.
