Data were collected between 2001 and 2019 and analyzed between February and July 2024.

Whether such prescribing is associated with misuse and prescription stimulant use disorder (PSUD) is less understood.ObjectivesTo examine (1) sex- and age-specific trends in the number of persons dispensed stimulants and trends in dispensed prescription stimulants by prescriber specialty in 2019 through 2022; (2) prevalence of misuse and PSUD by use of prescription amphetamine-type stimulants (hereafter referred to as <jats:italic>amphetamines</jats:italic>) and methylphenidate; and (3) PSUD prevalence and sociodemographic and behavioral health correlates among persons using prescription stimulants with and without prescription stimulant misuse.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional survey study used the 2019-2022 IQVIA Total Patient Tracker and National Prescription Audit New to Brand databases and the 2021-2022 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) (community-dwelling 18- to 64-year-old individuals). Data analysis was performed from March to April 2024.ExposurePast-year use of prescription stimulants.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPSUD using <jats:italic>DSM-5</jats:italic> criteria.ResultsOf the sampled 83 762 adults aged 18 to 64 years, 33.8% (unweighted) were aged 18 to 25 years, 53.0% (unweighted) were aged 26 to 49 years, and 56.0% (unweighted) were women. Among those using prescription stimulants, 25.3% (95% CI, 23.8%-26.8%) reported misuse, and 9.0% (95% CI, 8.0%-10.0%) had PSUD. Among those with PSUD, 72.9% (95% CI, 68.3%-77.6%) solely used their own prescribed stimulants, 87.1% (95% CI, 82.3%-90.8%) used amphetamines, 42.5% (95% CI, 36.6%-48.5%) reported no misuse, and 63.6% (95% CI, 56.8%-69.8%) had mild PSUD. Individuals using amphetamines, compared with those using methylphenidate, had higher prevalence ratios of misuse (3.1 [95% CI, 2.2-4.3]) and PSUD (2.2 [95% CI, 1.3-3.8]). The largest increase in the number of individuals dispensed prescription stimulants was among women aged 35 to 64 years, from 1.2 million in quarter 1 of 2019 to 1.7 million in quarter 4 of 2022 (average quarterly percentage change, 2.6% [95% CI, 2.1%-3.1%]). The prevalence of prescription stimulant misuse was lower among women aged 35 to 64 years using these medications (13.7% [95% CI, 11.1%-16.8%]) than other sex- and age-specific subgroups (ranging from 22.0% [95% CI, 17.9%-26.7%] for men aged 35-64 years to 36.8% [95% CI, 32.6%-41.2%] for women aged 18-25 years).Conclusions and RelevanceHigh prevalence of prescription stimulant misuse and PSUD (regardless of misuse status) suggests the importance of ensuring clinically appropriate use and of screening for and treating PSUD among all adults prescribed stimulants, especially those using amphetamines. Findings may suggest potential progress in addressing the mental health care gap for middle-aged women and the need for evidence-based clinical guidance and training on benefits and risks of prescription stimulants for adults.","PeriodicalId":14800,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Psychiatry","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), originally developed to treat diabetes, now provide substantial efficacy in the treatment of obesity. However, concerns of risk of suicidality with these medicines have been raised.ObjectiveTo evaluate the risk of suicidality and self-harm in randomized, placebo-controlled trials of GLP-1 RAs in adults with diabetes or obesity.Data SourcesMEDLINE, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched from inception to August 29, 2023.Study SelectionReports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) lasting 6 or more months comparing GLP-1 RAs with placebo for the treatment of diabetes or obesity published in peer-reviewed journals were identified. Two independent reviewers screened all search-identified studies for inclusion. Records of outcomes were queried from primary papers, ClinicalTrials.gov entries, and corresponding authors.Data Extraction and SynthesisTwo independent researchers abstracted data and assessed data quality and validity using PRISMA guidelines. Data were pooled using random-effects models.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPooled incidence of completed or attempted suicide, occurrences of suicidal ideation, or self-harm.ResultsA total of 27 of 144 RCTs meeting inclusion criteria systematically recorded suicide and/or self-harm-related events and included 32 357 individuals receiving GLP-1 RAs and 27 046 treated with placebo, over 74 740 and 68 095 person-years of follow-up, respectively. Event incidence was very low in the GLP-1 RA (0.044 per 100 person-years) and placebo (0.040 per 100 person-years) groups, with no statistically significant difference (rate ratio [RR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.48-1.21; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .24). Subgroup analyses did not suggest differences in outcomes based on diabetes status or GLP-1 RA used. Five studies were considered at risk of bias due to the loss of more than 5% of participants to follow-up. Otherwise, studies were not found to be heterogeneous nor at high risk of bias.Conclusions and RelevanceThere is unlikely to be an increase in the very low incidence of suicide-related adverse events among individuals receiving GLP-1 RAs within the context of RCTs. While these findings may further ease concerns about these adverse effects, continued monitoring is warranted to identify particular patients who may be at risk as extended use of GLP-1 RAs expands.","PeriodicalId":14800,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Psychiatry","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
