Study Summary

This protocol will test the safety, effectiveness and the metabolism and action of prazosin as a potential therapy for methamphetamine abuse. This will be accomplished by performing a series of human laboratory studies. In each of these studies, the safety and effectiveness of the test medication (prazosin) in the treatment of methamphetamine effects will be determined. The study hypothesis is that prazosin will block the methamphetamine receptor function, reducing the reinforcing effects of central nervous system effects in humans.

Primary Outcome

Visual analog scales measuring effects prazosin on methamphetamine; change in methamphetamine high. Visual analog scales allow the subject to give a rating of methamphetamine effects. For instance, how high the dose makes you . The study tested how much prazosin changed the effects of methamphetamine as measured by these visual analog scales. Visual analog scale is a 100 mm scale, ranging from 0 (no effect) to 100 (maximum effect). In each session, each subject received prazosin (1 or 2 mg) or
