Anxiety and mood fluctuation during the normal menstrual cycle.

Eleven women with an average age of 23 were evaluated daily for pregnanediol excretion, mood, and behavioral fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. Subjects carefully screened for present and preexisting psychopathology experienced only minor fluctuations in rating on the Moos Menstrual Distress questionnaire (MDQ), only the water retention achieving significance. The other scales on the MDQ and the Spielberger State Anxiety Scale had nonsignificant premenstrual elevations.

The case of a 61-year-old woman with an apathetic depression and urinary incontinence is presented. Her depression and urinary incontinence were symptomatically treated with d-amphetamine prior to diagnosis of bilateral frontal lobe meningiomas. Similar but irreversible neurologic conditions might be successfully treated by using amphetamines.

Pentazocine and tripelennamine: a drug abuse epidemic?

The change in illicit drug use from 1975 to 1978 was studied in Chicago veterans. Barbiturates and amphetamine use has decreased significantly. Nearly a sevenfold increase in pentazocine use has occurred. All but one of the pentazocine users added tripelennamine to the intravenous or subcutaneous injections. Sixty-four instances of medical or psychiatric complications including seizures, abscesses, depression, and psychosis occurred in the 69 pentazocine and tripelennamine users. A possible pharmacologic explanation of the seizures and psychiatric complications is advanced. Most users of pentazocine and tripelennamine started the use in an attempt to withdraw from heroin or because of the poor quality of heroin available.
