I thought Marplan had been rereleased by Roche in August of 1998. There was an announcement on the Centerwatch website (www.centerwatch.com) stating that "Marplan had been approved for the treatment of depression" Now you and I know that Marplan is not a "new" drug but the announcement made it sound like it was new. So I'm not sure what the story is.
I had written a letter to Roche to complain about their decision. The letter I received from them led me to believe it was not going to be available beyond a month or two. I really had a terrible time trying to find another drug to work as well as Marplan had.
So now I think it's back, but I'm not certain of this. I have an 800# from Roche so perhaps you can call them directly to inquire about its availability. (1-800-526-6367). I will probably try to do this myself on Monday.
