Summary

This is a study of 4 nontreatment seeking individuals who were MA-dependent and the safety and tolerability of atomoxetine. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subjects study is to determine the safety and tolerability of atomoxetine.

MA abusing participants will undergo a 1-day outpatient screening and if it is safe for the participants to proceed with the study they will participate in two inpatient components of the study that will occur in the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). The first inpatient stay will be 15 days, and the second will be a 9 days stay that includes drug administration and assessments. There will be at least a two week interval between inpatient components. During the inpatient components participants will receive alternating study drugs; atomoxetine or placebo and four sessions of IV MA administration or saline.

Interventions

DRUG

Atomoxetine, then Placebo

As this is a within-subject, crossover design, all subjects complete both study medication assignments in a double-blind fashion. Based on random assignment to start on either atomoxetine or placebo, study drug will be administered once daily at 40 mg/day on the first 2 study days, then twice daily for the third, fourth and fifth study days, and once daily on the sixth study day.
