TL;DR: The data suggest that bupropion, in combination with behavioral group therapy, was effective for increasing the number of weeks of abstinence in participants with low-to-moderate methamphetamine dependence, mainly male patients, regardless of their comorbid condition.

TL;DR: Data suggest that modafinil, in combination with individual behavioral therapy, was effective for increasing cocaine non-use days in participants without co-morbid alcohol dependence, and in reducing cocaine craving.

TL;DR: Data suggest that modafinil, plus group behavioral therapy, was not effective for decreasing methamphetamine use, and the study is probably inconclusive because of inadequate compliance with taking medication.

TL;DR: Topiramate does not appear to promote abstinence in methamphetamine users but can reduce the amount taken and reduce relapse rates in those who are already abstinent.

TL;DR: It is suggested that 15 mg aripiprazole is unlikely to be efficacious for the treatment of Meth dependence, although further research with lower doses of aripIPrazole, possibly using study designs aimed at evaluating efficacy for relapse prevention, are needed before ruling out arip iprazole as a treatment for Meth dependence.
