ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine if treatment of co-occurring adult ADHD and Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) with extended-release mixed amphetamine salts (MAS-ER) would be effective at improving ADHD symptoms and promoting abstinence.METHOD:
A 12-week randomized, double-blind, two-arm pilot feasibility trial of adults with comorbid ADHD and CUD (n = 28) comparing MAS-ER (80 mg) to placebo. Mainoutcomes:
ADHD ≥30% symptom reduction, measured by the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS). CUD Abstinence during last 2 observed weeks of maintenance phase.RESULTS:
Overall, medication was well-tolerated. There was no significant difference in ADHD symptom reduction (MAS-ER 83.3%; placebo 71.4%; p = .65) or cannabis abstinence (MAS-ER 15.4%; placebo 0%; p = .27). MAS-ER group showed a significant decrease in weekly cannabis use days over time compared to placebo (p < .0001).CONCLUSIONS:
MAS-ER was generally well-tolerated. The small sample size precluded a determination of MAS-ER's superiority reducing ADHD symptoms or promoting abstinence. Notably, MAS-ER significantly reduced weekly days of use over time.Palabras clave
