> Just been listening to the (BBC) radio & heard a report on a new drug for social anxiety being developed in Glagow, Scotland. The head of the research project is one Dr. Carol Ferguson.

> Apparently it's been tested on hundreds of volunteers since March & could be available on prescription in the UK by the end of the year. It seems to work in around 2-3 weeks and reports are encouraging (hence the radio rpt of course).

> My suspicion is that it could be PREGABLIN, which KregPark mentioned a while back (or is it just another SSRI?). Anyone able to shed any more light on this?

> Any thoughts on Pregablin, all you clever types?

> On a separate note, I'm due to see one of the country's top pharmacologists and would appreciate any ideas on novel BPII treatments I can throw at the guy. Naturally I will ask about the aforementioned med.
