ABSTRACT

A 12-week, open label flexible dosing study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of bupropion-SR in the treatment of generalized social phobia. The primary outcome measures include the Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) and the Brief Social Phobia Rating Scale (BSPS). A total of 18 subjects were enrolled. Five of the ten subjects who completed all 12 weeks were considered as responders. Response to treatment was defined as a CGI-I score of 1 or 2, ("much improved" or "very much improved," respectively) and a > 50% decrease in BSPS score. The final doses for the completers ranged between 200 and 400 mg/day (mean 366 +/- 68 mg/day). The medication was generally well tolerated. Findings from this open-label trial suggest that bupropion-SR may be useful in treating generalized social phobia.
