As somebody that benefits from using a drug 'off-label' I strongly disagree.
There are many cases where off-label drug use gives a minority of people tremendous benefit. Take a look at the people with various brain disorders using Ambien off-label. It can literally bring people out of coma-like states temporarily.
Other examples off-label use:
* Propranolol for anxiety.
* Guanfacine for blood pressure issues, now used on label for ADHD.

- awalton 7y agoAs far as I'm aware there's no beta blocker that's approved for performance anxiety in the US. Paperwork for Propranolol in the US has on-label usages listed as: Hypertension, Angina Pectoris, Atrial Fibrillation, Myocardial Infarction, Migraine, Essential Tremor, Hypertrophic Subaortic Stenosis or Pheochromocytosis.
