A low dose of aripiprazole attenuates the subject-rated effects of d-amphetamine

Abstract

Despite increased reports of amphetamine abuse and dependence, a putative pharmacotherapy has yet to be identified. In a previous study from our laboratory, 20 mg aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic that has partial agonist activity at D(2) receptors, attenuated many of the behavioral effects of d-amphetamine. Aripiprazole (20 mg) also impaired performance on a computerized version of the DSST when administered alone, indicating that the attenuation observed may have been functional as opposed to receptor mediated. The present experiment was conducted to determine whether a lower dose of aripiprazole (10 mg) could acutely attenuate the discriminative-stimulus, subject-rated, and physiological effects of d-amphetamine (2.5-15 mg) without impairing performance as measured with a computerized version of the DSST. The results of the present experiment indicate that 10 mg aripiprazole attenuated some abuse-related behavioral effects of d-amphetamine and was generally devoid of effects, including significant performance impairment, when administered alone. These findings suggest that 10 mg aripiprazole would be a reasonable starting dose for the treatment of stimulant abuse and dependence. Future research should examine the effects of chronic aripiprazole administration in combination with methamphetamine or cocaine.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
