Effects of morphine, chlorpromazine and chlordiazepoxide on shock-induced changes in basal skin conductance. 1976

B E Jones, and J A Prada

Chlorpromazine (12.5 and 25 mg/70 kg, i.m.) and chlordiazepoxide (25 and 50 mg/70 kg, i.m.) were compared with morphine (15 and 30 mg/70 kg, i.m.) and placebo in their effects on electric shock-induced increases in basal skin conductance. Morphine and chlorpromazine attenuated the increase compared with placebo, while chlordiazepoxide did not. None of the treatments produced reliable effects on the phasic responses to the stimuli.

D002746	Chlorpromazine	The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.
