TL;DR

Bupropion was no more effective than placebo in reducing MA use in planned analyses, though bupropion did reduce cigarette smoking.

Abstract

Bupropion was no more effective than placebo in reducing MA use in planned analyses, though bupropion did reduce cigarette smoking. Post hoc findings of an effect for bupropion among baseline light, but not heavy, MA users suggests further evaluation of bupropion for light-MA users is warranted.
