New Anti Anxiety Drugs?

Posted by Tom Twilight on August 10, 2006, at 9:11:52

Are there any new drugs in development for Anxiety?

I live in the UK so if there are any expected for Europe that would be a big plus!

Yes-I tried Pregabalin

It was a very frustrating Drug

Worked quite well for the first few days then it stopped

Tollerance doesn't really reverse with time either.

Hello Tom T.

How about D Cycloserine? It seems pretty promising for social anxiety. I'm hanging out for it.

As an experiment I tried Glycine and had some weird effects. The first day it was great - a flat tsp made me feel calm at the shopping centre. The next day, the same dose made me feel anxious. The third day, I felt very anxious, panicky and agitated. Gave it up after that.

Don't know if that has any bearing on how D-Cycloserine might work.

Anyway, it might be an option, Tom. I hope so.
