> Low Dopamine D2 Receptor Binding Potential in Social Phobia
>Karen,
This and other recentstudies has shown that, yes, D2 (and D3?) recpetor hypofunction plays a role in social phobia/anxiety. Studies like these explain the effectiveness that drugs that target these receptors can have in treating social anxiety. Amisulpride and sulpiride both targert these receptors. Sulpiride has studies showing its efficacy in treating social phobia.
