> We definitely need more options!
Of course! That is the point! That is exactly what duloxetine is - another option! Who cares how similar it is to other drugs, as long as it is different enough to get ME well!!! It is as simple as that.
How many people respond to Zoloft who do not respond to Prozac? How many people respond to Paxil who do not respond to Zoloft? How many people respond to Prozac who do not respond to Paxil? Talk about drugs being similar - there are people for whom Lexapro is better than Celexa. What's more, there are people who respond better to Celexa than they do to Lexapro! It is as simple as that.
For every new antidepressant that comes to market, a certain percentage of people who have been treatment-resistant to all others will respond and achieve remission. It is as simple as that.
I want to make duloxetine the very next drug I try. From everything I have read, it seems to be safe and effective. The FDA deems it so as well. For me, it is as simple as that.
