I wanted to enroll in a Gepirone study, but instead was put into a different study for Treatment Resistant Depression.
When I asked my doctor )who was involved with both studies) several months later how the Gepirone study had turned out, he said that it was very dissapointing and that people taking Gepirone hadn't shown any improvement over those taking a placebo (he may have even said that they did worse - can't quite remember, but at any rate it was not a success). I hadn't heard that the drug was pulled from the approval process, as the previous poster mentioned, but I would not be surprised given my doctor's experience with the drug.
> Is this drug released yet? Is anyone taking it? Can I volunteer for a study?
