Soon after its introduction, a series of similar medicines entered the market, including carisoprodol (Soma), glutethimide (Doriden), methaqualone (Qaalude, Sopor), methyprylon (Noludar), and ethchlorvynol (Placidyl). These medications have all been used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms.
