Summary
This study tested whether minocycline, an antibiotic, could reduce the frequency and intensity of intrusive memories in 138 adults with PTSD or cocaine use disorder. Participants took minocycline while recalling their traumatic or drug-related memories, aiming to weaken those memories during a process called reconsolidation. The goal was to ease symptoms like distress and arousal triggered by unwanted memories.
