Summary
This study will help to determine whether the medication, topiramate, reduces alcohol use
among adolescents with alcohol dependence. It will also help answer the question, "How does
topiramate reduce drinking in teenagers?" Understanding how topiramate may reduce drinking in
adolescents would allow for a more targeted pharmacotherapeutic approach to treatment and
help to identify additional medications that may hold promise for improving treatment
outcomes for youth.
