> Mirapex for social anxiety? Im very interested in this because ive never heard anyone use it for this before but i always thought that theoretically it could be a good drug for this. Would love to hear anything.
>>>Liebowitz did successful trials on Zofran for social anxiety in '96, but further studies weren't done because Glaxxo must have figured it wasn't worth it since not all insurance pays for full supplies of it. My insurance, though, will pay for as much of a 30 day supply my doctor prescribes (maybe because it's a PPO).
Of course, my doc said I'm "irrational" and that's his basis for not believing me. He said I can point to all the controlled studies I want, but I'm still irrational, and that's why I see him (I see him for social anxiety). I still don't understand what he means, since part of social anxiety is realizing your anxiety is exagerrated, so wouldn't it be rational to realize your anxiety isn't rational and seek treatment for it?
Anyway, if anyone tries Zofran for social anxiety, let me know.
