No data available : I have looked into this and cannot find anything but anecdotal reports from people who said that it made their anxiety better or that it made their anxiety worse. I can't find any scientific literature on this. The approval is so far only for treatment of depression, with anxiety left out. I have given it to about 15 people and have not heard any complaints re: anxiety. Colleagues, chime in please.
