> im not sure if this is a bit off the beaten path topic wise...but the most wonderful relief I ever got from anxiety was after surgery, I got an IV of Zofran...was that great. After I recovered I found some an abstract I believe on Medscape that had to do with Zofran being effective for OCD. Of course for me there is a definite link (tic disorder OCD panic disorder)...I wonder if this drug will ever be approved for ocd or anxiety disorders..from what I remember smaller doses were used in the studay and were very effective, smaller than given for PONV and chemo.

I had the same experience. I was given remeron but it wasn't helping so they switched to zofran and I felt better than I ever remember in my life. I had no anxiety in talking to people where as normally am practically agoraphobic. I've asked my primary care physician if he could prescribe it for anxiety depression but he said it is only for chemo or post operative nausea. He's prescribed other antidepressants which I've tried but don't like the side effects and have heard so many negative experiences people have had taking them, that I end up going off them and not really giving them a chance. I was just wondering is there any way I could get a prescription for zofran that anyone knows of. My insurance covers it (I checked with the pharmacy)I've seen it for sale on the internet without a prescription, but can not afford to buy it right now. Is there any way that glaxo-wellcome could do a study on zofran for anxiety depression and I could volunteer? Thanks for the help.
