RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Individuals with chronic psychiatric conditions display a high rate of cocaine use. Gabapentin was hypothesized to reduce cocaine use by restoring inhibitory GABAergic feedback on ascending dopaminergic projections to nucleus accumbens neurons. METHOD: Nine participants with DSM-IV cocaine dependence were selected from patients attending a large community psychiatric clinic. During a 24-week open-label trial of gabapentin (800-2400 mg/day), qualitative urine drug screens were collected from the participants up to 3 times per week. Data were collected from September 1999 to May 2001. RESULTS: With gabapentin, the mean +/- SD number of cocaine-positive urine screens decreased from 53.11 +/- 13.23 to 35.22 +/- 14.84 (t = 3.58, N = 9, p <.01). The number of weeks of abstinence from cocaine increased from 2.1 +/- 1.5 to 8.0 +/- 5.5 (t = 3.21, N = 9, p <.01). CONCLUSION: Gabapentin appeared to be a safe and efficacious medication to reduce cocaine usage in a community sample of psychiatric patients.
