Go to your cities craigslist.com page and visit the volunteer section.
You should find some examples like this...
"Men and women 18 years and older are needed for a research study at the University of Minnesota, adding an investigational medication to FDA-approved antidepressants. If you suffer from depression and medications don't seem to be helping, you may be eligible to participate.
Study medications are provided at no cost to participants.
For more information, please call (612) 627-4890."

As investigational meds are years away from market
just make sure you can continue the meds after the study. Usually you can't. It would be frustrating
to find a med that works and have to wait yrs for it to come on the market.

Also make sure it really IS an investigational medication, a lot of studies are for "investigating" new combos, i.e. an FDA approved AD with an FDA approved antipsychotic. or for investigating "new" uses, i.e. an already approved AD for social anxiety disorder. If you have insurance you can get the exact same med or combo from your doctor and not have to worry about wasting time with a placebo. Cecilia

>Right. I have done some studies years ago when I was short $$ but I was not willing to mess with my psycomeds, which work very well. I was a test subject for some allergy meds. None made it to market.
If these studies are accepting subjects from the general public the new med most likely in stage III. 5-10 years before the drug will come to market.
