Potential Usefulness Of Topiramate In Crack Cocaine Treatment

Crack cocaine is powdered cocaine that has undergone an additional step of chemical processing. While the two forms of the drug have the same basic brain effects, crack only produces these effects for a relatively brief amount of time. This means that users of this form of cocaine may take the drug more frequently, and therefore may have greater odds of eventually experiencing the long-term brain changes associated with cocaine addiction.
In the study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence, researchers from Parnassia Addiction Research Centre and the University of Amsterdam specifically investigated the potential usefulness of topiramate treatment in people addicted to crack cocaine. Thirty-seven participants in the study received a 12-week combination of topiramate and cognitive behavioral therapy, while another thirty-seven participants only received cognitive behavioral therapy.
The researchers mainly measured the effectiveness of topiramate treatment by comparing the rate of continued program involvement among recipients of the medication to the rate of continued involvement among those who did not receive the medication.

Clinical trials have been analyzed and found there is no clinical evidence that supports the use of Topamax for treating cocaine use disorder (cocaine addiction).
A person may have been prescribed topiramate in an attempt to help with an addiction to something else, such as cocaine. This practice is not recommended because of the lack of efficacy, and the number of adverse effects linked to taking the drug. Withdrawal from Topamax could be a very good strategy for improved health, especially where it was not found useful in treating addiction to other substances. Treating the biological and emotional triggers and precursors for addictive behaviors would be alternative choices for the best pathway forward.
The protocols we use at Alternative to Meds Center aim toward several significant outcomes, aside from safe tapering from prescription drugs. One of the prime areas we investigate is finding root causes for the conditions that preceded the medication. If migraines linked to specific toxic accumulations, as an example, we can expect to see improvements after removing the toxicity. It is not always possible to reduce medications to zero. However many improvements become possible after changing diet, arming oneself with de-stressing therapies including counseling, and lifestyle changes.
