God help us. I received

this on a journalist alert service so I don't have a website. Although

it mentions the Daily Telegraph, I have checked their website and couldn't

find the story listed on it.

Ramo

Anti-shyness

drug holds promise for thousands

A new drug is

helping people overcome their shyness.

It is being

tested in trials in Glasgow and could be on the market next year.

The drug stimulates

the brain to produce seratonin, which is the chemical that controls mood.

Doctors carrying

out the study say they are encouraged by the results so far which have

helped hundreds of people suffering from chronic shyness.

Dr ,

a consultant psychiatrist at Stobhill Hospital who is helping coordinate

the trial, said: "For some people something as simple as attending a meeting

or going to the pub will be a terrifying ordeal. They will then make excuses

to avoid confronting their fears."

He said people

should realise they suffer from a condition which can be treated and hopes

Escitalopram will benefit thousands.

The trial are

being carried out at the private HCI medical centre at Clydebank and will

have involved 250 people by the end of May, reports The

Daily Telegraph.

Dear Dawn,

I have a friend who takes Prozac to combat her shyness. I've gently told her the facts, but she is stuck on the stuff.

Hi,

I got my sister to go on zoloft a few years ago, when I was still

ignorant about ssris - I was taking zoloft and felt it was helping me.

My sister is one of those people who - if she doesn't have something

to worry about - she'll find things to worry about. Also, her husband

was in poor health and she was stressing out. I thought the zoloft

would help her deal with all this.

Now I am trying to get her to stop taking it and she won't. my

rationale is " Michele, you listened to me before; listen to me now! " .

I've tried being gentle, I've tried 'tuff love', and I keep sending

her material - to no avail. so, Suzy, there is not too much you can

do when someone feels the drug is helping them. - except be there to

pick up the pieces later.

Dear ,

And of course we know the problem - the SSRIs are addictive.
