Same Study, But , Yes, You are Missing the Point

Rick, yes, I think you are missing the point. The study was conducted with dosages ranging from 1800 mg/day to 3600 mg/day. So, the overall efficacy ratings are an average of patient response at the different dosages. 1800 mg/day is supposed to be sub-therapeutic, as is 2400 mg/day, as far as social phobia is concerned. 3600mg/day to 4800 mg/day are where the results are suppose to kick in. Discounting the patients at dosages under 3600 mg/day, you can easily estimate that the response for the few at the higher dosages was SIGNIFICANTLY higher than a 30% response rate.

Parke-Davis is planning a follow-up study at the higher dosages, as indicated at the end of their study report.
