The studies we propose are significant as they have the potential to identify treatment medications and elucidate new mechanisms of action and desirable characteristics for future medications development. Understanding the effects of treatment drugs in the context of concomitant METH use is an essential component of identifying potential pharmacotherapies for METH dependence that 1) alters the self-reported/performance effects 2) alters the cardiovascular effects and 3) alters the concentration-effect (pharmacodynamic) relationships of METH in human METH users. Using this broad pharmacologic approach to these human laboratory studies will provide insight into the appropriate combination of positive treatment effects with minimal side effects for the ultimate development of a successful treatment for METH abuse. The results should be generalizable to METH abusers and to the development of new treatments for METH abuse that will benefit all members of society. Understanding pharmacologic interactions will lessen complications of drug abuse and provide more rapid introduction of effective new treatments into medical practice.
