> Hello, That is an interesting article. Can I ask how many individuals were in the study and was it double blind ?
The Blanco et al. (2003)paper is a review paper of all SAD studies (and meta-analytic reviews)completed between years 1980-2002. Only studies that were double-blind and had a placebo were considered. The number of subjects in each study varies (from as low as 30 subjects to as high as 578). The authors relied heavily on meta-analytical reviews because few head-to-head comparisons of drugs have been done.
>What symtoms were they trying to target?
Social anxiety disorder symptoms.
> P.S. What publication was this article excerpted from?
Blanco et al., The evidence-based pharmacological treatment of social anxiety disorder. International J of Neuropsychopharmacology (2003), 6, 427-442.
