title: [Tiapride in detoxication of chronic alcoholics (author's transl)].
abstract: Tiapride was used in 55 chronic alcoholics. It has a sedative effect on the anxiety, aggressiveness and agitation observed during the alcohol withdrawal syndrome. It is also effective against tremor, insomnia and fatigue. Fatigue or depression do not occur as side-effects. Tiapride induces a psychological feeling of wellbeing which is heightened by continuation of detoxication and general management.
