Abstract

1 Nine healthy volunteers participated in a comparative study of the effects of nomifensine, nomifensine plus alcohol, and placebo plus alcohol, on aspects of psychomotor performance.

2 The study was carried out according to a Latin square design and each treatment was separated from the preceding treatment by 7 days.

3 Placebo plus alcohol impaired performance, increased pulse rate and blood pressure, and increased feelings of activity and euphoria.

4 Nomifensine plus alcohol produced the same subjective and objective changes as placebo plus alcohol, but in no instance were changes any greater.

5 Nomifensine alone produced none of these changes.

6 It was concluded that single doses of nomifensine did not potentiate the effect of alcohol.
