The effectiveness of tiapride on psychic disorders was studied in 30 chronic alcoholics by assessing four parameters: sleep disturbances, mood disorders, conduct disturbances, and tremor. In a daily dosage of 600 to 900 mg tiapride proved particularly effective on insomnia, anxiety, passivity and tremor, without adverse side-effects. This drug seems useful for controlling psychic disorders in alcoholics and for motivating acceptance of a detoxification program.
