Copyright © 2015, Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc. Abstract Objective: Gabapentin is commonly used off­label in the treatment of psychiatric disorders with success, failure, and controversy. A systematic review of the literature was performed to elucidate the evidence for clinical benefit of gabapentin in psychiatric disorders. Data sources: Bibliographic reference searches for gabapentin use in psychiatric disorders were performed in PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE search engines with no language restrictions from January 1, 1983, to October 1, 2014, excluding nonhuman studies. For psychiatric references, the keywords bipolar, depression, anxiety, mood, posttraumatic stress disorder (posttraumatic stress disorder and PTSD), obsessive­compulsive disorder (obsessive­compulsive disorder and OCD), alcohol (abuse, dependence, withdraw), drug (abuse, dependence, withdraw), opioid (abuse, dependence, withdraw), cocaine (abuse, dependence, withdraw), and amphetamine (abuse, dependence, withdraw) were crossed with gabapentin OR neurontin.

  • Pharmacotherapy for Methamphetamine/Amphetamine Use Disorder—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
    REVIEW doi:10.1111/add.14755 Pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine/amphetamine use disorder—a systematic review and meta-analysis Brian Chan1,2, Michele Freeman3 , Karli Kondo3, Chelsea Ayers3, Jessica Montgomery3, Robin Paynter3 & Devan Kansagara1,3,4 Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR, USA,1 Central City Concern, Portland, OR, USA,2 Evidence- based Synthesis Program Center, VA Portland Health Care System, Portland, USA3 and Department of Medicine, VA Portland Health Care System, Portland, OR, USA4 ABSTRACT Aims Addiction to methamphetamine/amphetamine (MA/A) is a major public health problem. Currently there are no pharmacotherapies for MA/A use disorder that have been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency. We reviewed the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for MA/A use disorder to assess the qual- ity, publication bias and overall strength of the evidence. Methods Systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched multiple data sources (MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Cochrane Library) to April 2019 for systematic reviews (SRs) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Included studies recruited adults who had MA/A use disorder; sample sizes ranged from 19 to 229 participants. Outcomes of interest were abstinence, defined as 3 or more consecutive weeks with negative urine drug screens (UDS); overall use, analyzed as the proportion of MA/A negative UDS specimens; and treatment reten- tion. One SR of pharmacotherapies for MA/A use disorder and 17 additional RCTs met our inclusion criteria encompassing 17 different drugs (antidepressants, antipsychotics, psychostimulants, anticonvulsants and opioid antagonists). We combined the findings of trials with comparable interventions and outcome measures in random-effects meta-analyses.

Electrical signals are lIsed to communicate within cells, and chemical signals are used to com­ municate between cells. Most neurons have a characteristic structure that consists of a globular cell body with numerous long, spindly projections coming off the central cell body (Figure 11.1). These projections are used in the process of signaling between neurons and receive communications from their sometimes-distant cell bodies. The axon of a signaling cell projects to ovcr the past two decades stunning progress has been made in the dendrite of the receiving cell, and the twO projections come into dose understanding the psychopathology of addiction.

  • Pharmacologcial Treatments for Methamphetamine Use Disorder
    Abstract Background: Methamphetamine use disorder is a persistent and prevalent illness associated with serious physical, emotional, cognitive and social harms. No proven pharmacological treatments have yet been identified and psychological therapies are currently the only evidence based treatments. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found no quantitative evidence of benefit for psychostimulants in achieving abstinence or retention in treatment, but that review was limited to specific pharmacological agents (Bhatt et al, 2016). An older systematic review examined all treatments and found no single agent that demonstrated consistent efficacy (Brackins et al, 2011). Many additional studies have since been published. The aim of this systematic review is to critically evaluate the literature not previously covered by these and examine the evidence for efficacy of all possible pharmacological treatments. Methods: The literature search strategy consisted of an electronic search of PubMed. I included randomized controlled trials not previously reviewed of any pharmacological treatment for methamphetamine use disorder that reported methamphetamine use by urine drug screen as an outcome. I abstracted data from all identified studies using a standardized data collection instrument and critically analyzed the risk of bias, internal validity and external validity of all studies using a standardized form. I synthesized the review data. Results: I identified and analyzed 11 studies not previously reviewed. Pharmacological treatments used in these studies included buprenorphine, N-acetyl-cysteine, aripiprazole, citocoline, topiramate, naltrexone, mirtazapine, and a combined regimen of flumazenil/gabapentin/hydroxyzine. No study was found to have both good internal and good external validity. The overall level of internal validity within studies was severely limited by i small study size and high numbers of drop outs.
