A total of 41 male and three female patients participated
in this trial. All patients were amphetamine
smokers or oral users. Twenty-two patients took part
in each treatment group. For all 44 patients, the
means of age, amphetamine-use duration and
amphetamine-abstinence period were 19.6
(SD = 5.5) years, 23.5 (SD = 11.9) months and 52.7
(SD = 22.8) hours, respectively. The demographic
and baseline characteristics of amineptine- and
placebo-treated groups were not significantly different
with regard to sex, age, amphetamine-use duration,
amphetamine-abstinence period, the AW Q
score and the CGI score (Table 1). A small number of
patients (four amineptine-treated patients and three
placebo-treated patients) were also given lorazepam
in the dose range of 0.5–1.5 mg day–1 for 5–14 days.
Since all patients tolerated the trial medications
well, the standard dose (as described) was administered
to all of them. All of those taking amineptine
were therefore treated at the dose of 300 mg per day.
