| Abstract: | The effects of single doses of 50 mg of viloxazine, 100 mg of viloxazine, 50 mg of imipramine, and placebo given alone and in combination with alcohol on perceptual-motor performance potentially related to driving were studied in eight normal subjects. The study design permitted testing of visual reaction time, pursuit rotor performance, and depth perception when blood levels of the active drugs and alcohol were at or near peak. Analyses revealed that the effects of alcohol increased visual reaction time and decreased pursuit rotor performance. None of the drugs produced statistically significant changes on any of the measures. None of the effects of the combined drug and alcohol conditions differed significantly from the effects of alcohol alone. |
