Trials have found that oxytocin can reduce anxiety and ease phobias. Researchers say the hormone offers a possible, safe, alternative to alcohol as a means of overcoming the problem. Bun not as fun.

What's more, it is a very safe product that does not have any side effects Anything that can provide benefit changes the body and will, at least if too much is taken, cause side effects. The body is too complex to claim that a hormone will only have one effect and any additional effect is a side effect.

Where was this when I was a kid!! Man, I was terminally shy!! Oh well, it all turned out for the best. I did get married and have kids, and much more sociable now than I ever was. So, who needed it anyway?

I’m not an outgoing person, but I wouldn’t take this drug. I wouldn’t be “me.”

Except for falling in love with the next person you see after taking the drug.

No, thanks. I watched as my wife was induced with Oxytocin. I guess it helped with the delivery of our son, but it turned her into Lucille Ball for a week or so afterward. (Not physically, but she was a ditz.)

Oxytocin is supposedly one factor responsible for the greater ability of women to handle repetitive tasks. Maybe it would be good for ADD.
