TLDR

Topiramate Versus Fluvoxamine in the Treatment of Pathological Gambling: A Randomized, Blind-Rater Comparison Study
TLDR
The findings support the idea that PG and other disorders of impulse control may be conceptualized as part of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders and topiramate and fluvoxamine monotherapy may be effective in the treatment of pathologic gambling.
Topiramate attenuates self-injurious behaviour in Prader-Willi Syndrome.
TLDR
The report of attenuation of SIB with resultant lesion healing in three PWS adults treated with topiramate in an 8-wk open-label trial suggests that double-blind or cross-over studies withTopiramate are warranted to establish the possible role of topiramine in attenuating SIB in PWS and other disorders that involve SIB.
Lithium and topiramate association in the treatment of comorbid pathological gambling and bipolar disorder.
TLDR
It is suggested that topiramate may be considered as add-on therapy in cases of comorbid PG and type II BD that responded only partially to lithium and lithium, and demonstrated that lithium reduces impulsive gambling and affective instability in 83% of patients with comor bid PG and BD.
[Study of effectiveness of craving control with topiramate in patients with substance dependence disorders].
TLDR
In real clinical practice, topiramate showed a good response with a relevant decrease of percent of patients with abuse or consumption, and a satisfactory tolerability profile for the treatment of patientsWith dependence on heroine, cocaine, and other opiates, showing better outcomes than those obtained in previous trials.

Psychiatric aspects of impulsivity.
TLDR
Before treatment studies on impulsivity can move forward, measures of impulsivity that capture the core aspects of this behavior need to be refined and tested on the basis of an ideologically neutral model of impulsiveness.
