Role of venlafaxine in relapse to methamphetamine seeking. Potential treatment option for drug dependence.

CONCLUSION: Venlafaxine effects on the reinstatement of METH-induced CPP are not likely due to nonspecific effects on locomotor activity. This beneficial effect of VEN on relapse to METH-induced CPP could be due to its antidepressant effects. Venlafaxine can thus be a potential therapeutic option in the treatment of relapse to METH-seeking behaviors. PMID: 30957126 [PubMed - in process]
