Neurocognitive Performance, Alcohol Withdrawal, and Effects of a Combination of Flumazenil and Gabapentin in Alcohol Dependence

Abstract

Taken together, these data suggest that acute AW accounts for a small proportion of variance in neurocognitive performance, that gabapentin and flumazenil slightly improve response inhibition during early abstinence, and that such improvement may somewhat reduce later drinking. However, these medications may not affect other neurocognitive domains.
