An old sedative / muscle relaxer / anti anxiety medication. It was found to be dangerously addictive but was safer than the barbiturates which came before it.
Miltown has generally been replaced by good old Valium, Soma and other safer, more effective drugs.
The pills are mentioned frequently in the book "Mott The Hoople" which is where the band got its name from (The British band went on to give mega-star band Queen their start).
Mott, the main character, is addicted to Miltown and eats them constantly even while driving.
And yes, the drug was named after the town in NJ.

A good portion of the muscle relaxer Soma is metabolized into Miltown in the body, thus providing two drugs in one.
Damn, I'm gonna go to Miltown to get me some Miltown!
...And I'll be blasting Mott The Hoople while taking the pills.
Sheesh, good thing they didn't name a pill 'Allentown' or 'Levittown'. Those are two places that REALLY suck, and I'd imagine the drugs named for them would as well!
Actually they should just re-name Allentown "Crack Town" I think that's accurate and has a nice ring to it...

Get the Miltown mug.
the small town of Madison Indiana. known as one of the largest historical land masses in the US. the unknown part is that it is also one of the largest drug trafficking little towns in the US as well. drugs of all sorts go there to be broken up and sent to the larger surrounding cities like Indianapolis, Louisville Ky, and Cincinnati OH. It's townies are mainly white trash rednecks, but these are not easily seen by the passer-bys and tourists that seem to congregate there. the up-to-do citizens are the ones most likely seen, although they seem very nice don't get too close cause by the average citizen they are known as the worst kind of people you'll ever meet. All in all Madison is a very pretty town on the Ohio river that has community traditions like the Regatta that's all about hydroplane racing, and the ribberfest which is all about bbq, and of course the Chattaqua which is all about the fine arts. So come visit, if your the normal tourists and want to see a beautiful small town then this is the place. And also if your a drug crazed luney we welcome you too!!!
I just visited Madison Indiana....it was a Madtown!
