It was developed as a tuberculosis drug a long time ago. They're studying it now for various anxiety disorders and phobias... also schizophrenia.

>Many drugs that used for anxiety can also cause anxiety. Ssris can help anxiety but also cause it. I like Klonopin, but my friend tried it and he said it made his anxiety worse.
Anyways, here's some links to d-cycloserine info:
Boosts therapy for social phobia & fear of heights:
http://www.xagena.it/news/medicinenews_net_news/839541bfa1e1f4a879c4a5d4e5f6d88b.htmlIf you go to http://www.clinicaltrials.gov and type in the search box "cycloserine" you will get a bunch of trials that are recruiting for various things like social phobia, panic disorder, ocd, ptsd, depression, pain, autism, etc.
You can find more info and studies by searching on google and at www.pubmed.gov
