One drug, Topamax, reportedly “reduced the number of days on which alcoholics drank heavily” more than with just therapy alone. Topamax is currently used to treat epilepsy and migraines. Another study says people that took naltrexone and attended therapy were more likely to stay clean, and drink less when they did fall off the wagon.

Obviously, these results are preliminary and much more research is needed. But any strides in the treatment of addiction are a good thing.
