Résumé

Methylphenidate (MP) is commonly prescribed to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). MP is also taken for non-medical purposes as a recreational drug or "cognitive enhancer". Combined exposure to MP and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as fluoxetine (FLX) can also occur, such as in the treatment of ADHD with depression comorbidity or when patients taking FLX use MP for non-medical purposes. It is unclear if such exposure could subsequently increase the risk for relapse in former cocaine users. We investigated if an acute challenge with MP, FLX, or the combination of MP + FLX could trigger reinstatement of cocaine seeking behavior in a model for relapse in rats. Juvenile rats self-administered cocaine (600 µg/kg/infusion, 1-2 h/day, 7-8 days) and then underwent extinction and withdrawal during late adolescence-early adulthood. Reinstatement was tested at a low dose of MP (2 mg/kg, I.P., comparable to doses used therapeutically) or a high dose of MP (5 mg/kg, comparable to doses used recreationally or as a cognitive enhancer), with or without FLX (2.5-5 mg/kg, I.P.). An acute challenge with the high dose of MP (5 mg/kg), with or without FLX, reinstated cocaine seeking behavior to levels comparable to those seen after an acute challenge with cocaine (15 mg/kg, I.P.). The low dose of MP (2 mg/kg) with or without FLX did not reinstate cocaine seeking behavior. Our results suggest that acute exposure to a high dose of MP, with or without FLX, may increase the risk for relapse in individuals who used cocaine during the juvenile period.
