Hello.
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.
Ta,
J
