In reply to Has anyone participated in a drug study?, posted by dawnfawn on December 22, 2004, at 8:47:52
> There are always ongoing drug studies where I live. Currently a biggie in the field SPRI is conducting one on anti-anxiety drugs. I have been having no relief from therapy in the past year for my hypochondria. LOL a hyponchondriac agreeing to test a new drug..... I also have seen a rash of unusually bad and ineffecient therapists. (there are other listings outling these folks). Have any of you ever done this type of study? I'm a little scared. Any advice.
Yes, back in 1987. I dont recommend it as a form of drug therapy or anything of the sort.You may not be able to obtain the medication after the study is over. If the med did help you, that will be a major let-down, assuming it isn't a placebo that you receive.
Like the other poster said, its really a big hassle, unless you are not currently working.
Then again, someone has to do it, else we would have no new medications.
