Re: carbamazepine (tegretol) for social anxiety

To me, one of the more amusing things about medications is that it's often developed for one thing, and then it turns out to work for other issues. I take Klonopin on a regular basis (right now I'm up to 1 mg 3x per day), and it started out as a medication to help with seizures. It does amazing things for anxiety, and I'm grateful for it.

Fun side note: Viagra was initially developed to lower blood pressure. Point being, there are lots of drugs out there that are created for one thing, but work for others too.
