Suppression of ethanol withdrawal by dopamine

K Blum et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

An ethanol-inhalation technique was used to determine a potential relationship between dopamine and central nervous effects produced by alcohol. Both L-DOPA and intracranially injected dopamine resulted in attenuation of ethanol-induced withdrawal convulsion scores, whereas, haloperidol, a known dopaminergic blocker was found to significantly increase convulsion scores.
