Dexamyl
Dexamyl is the brand name of a combination drug composed of dextroamphetamine and amylbarbitone (amobarbital).
First introduced in the 1930s, Dexamyl was a rudimentary antidepressant medication. The amphetamine component contained in Dexamyl was intended to elevate mood, while the barbiturate component was added to counter the side effects of the amphetamine. Its name is a portmanteau of dextroamphetamine and amylbarbitone.
Dexamyl was discontinued in the 1970s in favor of MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants.
