    Hi Joanne,


     


    I believe they are currently trailing a number of possible options. The following link should take you to Nicole Lee's presentation from the National Methamphetamine Symposium held in Melbourne this year. One of her slides talks about pharmacotherapy options.

    Is naltrexone an effective pharmacotherapy for dependence on methamphetamine (ice)?  Are there other pharmacotherapies being considered? There is not a lot of information on this.
