Prepartum nausea and vomiting; a new approach to treatment.

A controlled study of 101 patients indicated that a combination of amphetamine and Rauwolfia was effective in the treatment of prepartum nausea and vomiting. Good to excellent results were obtained in 53 (83 per cent) of 64 patients who received the combination. Five patients reported fair results; six were not benefited by the treatment. Only five of a control group of 37 patients who received placebos reported good results. In addition to relief of the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, concomitant emotional disturbances, notably anxiety and depression, were alleviated by the drug combination.

Prepartum depression; a study of seventy unwed mothers treated with d-amphetamine sulfate and amobarbital.

Seventy unwed pregnant patients in states of mild to moderate depression evidenced by one or more symptoms (tenseness, "nervousness," crying spells, listlessness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, insomnia and overeating), received informal psychotherapy and a sustained-release capsule combining d-amphetamine sulfate and amobarbital.Forty-eight patients had complete or substantial relief of symptoms, 15 had partial relief, seven had slight or no relief. Use of the preparation seemed to make tense, "nervous" patients more communicative and amenable to counseling, but was less effective in listless, easily fatigued patients. Because of its direct mood-alleviating action and its ability to facilitate psychotherapy, the d-amphetamine sulfate-amobarbital combination proved a very effective treatment for mild and moderate depression accompanying pregnancy.
