that was an interesting series of responses!
I think the abuse potential is directly linked to the type of person involved.
I have GAD....and am notorious (as most anxiety-types are) for being leery of all meds/supps. Only want to try small amounts and titrate slowly, and obsessively observe myself for side effects!!!! My Pdoc would probably laugh at the idea that I would knowingly abuse a drug :). I've refused many of his drug suggestions, based on the bad withdrawal symptoms I've read here! So I feel safe trying it, myself.Seems that it might be worth trying for anxiety, perhaps alongside the tryptophan I'm already taking, or with Klonopin. I'd have to get my Pdoc to order it from the UK for me. Especially since the side-effect profile is so clean.
Thanks again for your input.
I'll update here if I end up taking it.
Regards,
Jas
