> I have read lots on Gepirone and Pagoclone. Interested in any new information on these two drugs. Mostly whether or not they are close to being approved.
I don't know about that, but if you're interested in trying gepirone, you might consider high-dose Buspar. They're very similar drugs, and Buspar acts as an antidepressant in high doses (around 45-90 mg). (It's quite safe; Buspar was originally studied as an antipsychotic, and although it was completely ineffective, doses over 1 g were well tolerated.)
Pagoclone looks interesting, but I have a hard time coming up with a justification for taking an expensive name-brand drug when I could get a generic benzodiazepine much more cheaply.
