Zofran used off-label for social anxiety?

Posted by jerryTRD on October 18, 2010, at 17:25:06

I've read online and in my Drug books that Zofran (Ondansetron) is/can be used for social anxiety disorder. I suppose this is because of it's effects on 5-HT3 receptors? But BuSpar does the same thing - why isn't it as helpful? Or am I wrong?
