> DeniseDenise, none of these drugs will be on the market for at the absolute minimum of five more years. More likely ten years...if they are ever FDA approved that is. Basically I wouldnt count on any truly novel antidepressants for at least ten more years. Mostly its just going to be more "me too" SSRI type serotonin antidepressants, variations on a theme basically. They have been talking about substance P ADs forever now, same thing for CRD-Antagonists. Most of these things never materialize in the real world, as there is very little political pressure to fix severe mental illness. If we had an AIDS like political campaign to wage war on mental illness, things might be different, but unfortunately, reality sucks.
