Abstract
The drug was administered daily for 6 consecutive days and compared with placebo controls. There was no change in water consumption. There was a depression in food intake and an increase in the time spent exploring other “stimulus” animals. Both effects became more marked on the latter days of testing suggesting possible sensitization to the drug.
