I think it said that even small mgs of this drug helped with OCD. I wonder if one day its use will be OK'd for ocd, social anxiety and other anxiety disorders.
I also hope that the price would come down drastically! I like its mechanism of action (5-HT3 antagonism), which tends to have a calming effect on the stomach/gut generally. When I get panic anxiety there is always an element of intense nausea about it.
