Objective: To review the literature on pharmacological management of disrupted sleeping patterns due to Methamphetamine use. Data sources: A PubMed search of human studies published in English through July 2020 was conducted using the broad search terms "Methamphetamine" and "Sleep".Study selection: 105 articles were identified and reviewed; 2 studies met the inclusion criteria.Data extraction: Study design, sample size, medications dose and duration, and sleep related outcomes were reviewed.Data synthesis: This is some evidence for Modafinil and Mirtazapine for disrupted sleep due to Methamphetamine use, however it is limited by small sample size of the studies.
Conclusion:Treatment of disrupted sleep due to Methamphetamine use, remains challenging. Modafinil and mirtazapine appear to show promise, but further research is warranted before making any evidence-based recommendations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
