Antipsychotic Trial for Meth Addicts

DailyRx
As of yet, there is no pill on the market for treating methamphetamine addiction. Researchers will have to continue to test and investigate for a solution. A recent clinical trial tested the use of an antipsychotic in combination with substance abuse counseling on a group of people addicted to methamphetamines. After 12 weeks, urine tests showed fewer people using meth, but the reduction was found in those who took the drug and those who did not.
