Abstract
Carisoprodol(CSP), commonly prescribed as a skeletal muscle relaxant, is increasingly abused among young people for a recreational purpose in Korea. CSP may induce hallucination if it were ingested with large amounts, futhermore a carisoprodol overdose is considered fatal. Recently, we encountered overdoses of carisoprodol in 6 suicide cases.
