Is it available in the U.S? What does it do? Is it useful in antidepressant augmentation?

Go here:

Be sure to check the references at the end of the article. Wikipedia is generally very reliable but it always pays to play it safe by checking the references.
From what I read, it seems to act like the benzodiazepines but is not in the same class of drugs. They mention something about similarities to sleep aids or something.
I'll never know what it does. If it acts like benzodiazepines, I can't take it because I'm an alcoholic. Anything remotely habit forming will become a habit for me, no questions asked.
Frozen yogurt is a good example of how something only remotely habit forming for other people has become an addiction for me.

"As far as the author is aware, pagoclone was never commercially available, nor has it ever succeeded in a phase III trial, and knowledge about side effects from phase IV trials is non-existent. Though pagoclone was initially studied for anxiety disorders in larger trials by Pfizer, Inc., Pfizer is said to have "discontinued development of the compound in June 2002" (7). The only phase III trial initiated by Pfizer, Inc., in August 2000 for panic disorder (7) was not available on the Medline (8) as of July 16, 2006, which suggests that it has been stopped."It doesn't look like its FDA approved. So you wouldn't be able to get it from a doctor.
