Abstract
Military veterans with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) who received topiramate in combination with prolonged exposure therapy (PE) showed greater improvement in PTSD symptoms than those receiving PE alone, a new study has found. The combination treatment did not lead to significant improvement in alcohol use outcomes compared with PE alone. Study results were published online March 19, 2025, in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
