> I don't think it is ever arriving. . . . Sorry to be a pessimist but with all the bs about AD's in the news lately, and the fact that this was supposed to have been approved a year and a half ago with a release date of February 2003 makes me think there is something we don't know about. I hope it comes out, but, frankly, I wouldn't bet a nickel on it. . . .<Nor would I. I think that the media overhypes the dangers of depression while overlooking the advantages of newer medications.....
I, for one, could never tolerate the histamine response of the "Tricyclic" class Anti-depressant meds like Imipramine, but so many P-docs these days shiver with fear , when you mention possibly using a dopamine enhancer, like the MAOI class meds.
In fact my current Pdoc says he wont prescribe the new segeline patch, no matter how well it may preform in the trials.
Oh well, yet another P-doc gets the boot by Rvanson :)
