Nardil helps now, testosterone does (my Xanax consumption has dipped significantly since adding it), and Zoloft has in the past.
If these medicines were appropriate for GAD, believe me, they would have pursued indications.
Perhaps they already did studies, they turned out with not so good results and never published them.
Having said that, it may work for some people but should not be tried as first-line treatment.
