I wonder if it can be abused. What happens with higher doses. Is there a rapid tolerance and rebound like with benzodiazepines? How long does it last? That would be game changing if it works without those effects.
I have PD ptsd from childhood truama and sad. I can not function unless I take my anti anxiety meds. I'm so sick of the stigma against benzos. It's been working for me for a whole year now with 1 small increase in dose of .25mg. I understand they can be problematic for a lot of people but why are they trying to change things for people who are having great sucess with the meds they have now for depression and anxiety. I would like to have a quality life. Yes, my body may be dependent but what is wrong with that if they are working great for me. When the day comes where I can use them as needed will be great but I have NO problem being on meds that give me such an increase of quality of life and for me 0 side effects! They work for a lot of people and this new PH94B should not be used as a replacement of meds that are already working for so many which would create more harm then good! I suppose it would useful as a treatment to try before trying benzos and ssri's but do not try and fix something for someone that does not need to be fixed! PS: I am not a drug addict trying to protect my drugs I'm legtimantly worried docters will yank me off my current meds that are working in the name of "safer" treatment. And I don't want to regularly ingest a steroid because steroid dependents sounds much more problematic then others. My great grandpa took steroids for parkinsons I believe and they made him pissed off all the time!
How can we get involved with these trials? If this works it would change my life.

Narrator: it didn't work.
