Anyone heard of this being used to tx social anxiety disorder? Anyone have experience with it or aware of any actual evidence to support its use?

People think this is a good idea?

unfortunately it doesn't work for social anxiety disorder. I wouldn't expect it to help alone, but the studies show it doesn't work, doesn't enhance CBT/exposure, and my own personal experience with patients is that thus far it doesn't work (or else we don't know how to use it).

Was supposed to be a big deal in ASD treatment as well. It was not.

Side note one of the few effective uses I know is for some breastfeeding women to help with the letdown reflex. But that isn't psych related. Jus sayin

I had a patient come to me on it for social anxiety disorder. Didn't work for her.
