Hey everyone, I don't study medicine, Pharmaceutical science, neurology, or biochemistry. But I have an idea, or a concept if you will for a medicine, and I want to discuss my idea, and see if such medicine might be possible to create. And I will eventually write a report on it.
The idea is born from me suffering from Panic Disorder and having little to no help from common therapy forms and medications. And this is the case for 33% or more people in the same situation. The only thing that does help is Alprazolam (Xanax), but this has a couple of drawbacks and issues, it causes tolerance over time, it's addictive, it causes fatigue and impair cognitive function, and discontinuing it after taking it for longer than 1-2 months is extremely difficult and unpleasant. So would it be possible to "modify" this drug to limit the drawbacks? Or to create something that has a similar effect on the GABA receptors in the brain but without it building up tolerance and causing addiction?
So I really want to come in contact with people who know about chemical interactions, how our brain reacts to it, and how the R&D of medicine works. It might be cool to even start a chatgroup if multiple people want to join in. Please help me find the right people or join in!
