And there always are people who find a newly approved antidepressant better for them than any that had been previously available. Scientists don't know why these drugs affect different people differently. They just do.

I am not saying they shouldn't come out with new drugs. It just would be nice to have something slightly novel, one of these days. The more drugs out there, the better, but hopefully one day they will understand something about what's going on, so that they don't make "me too" drugs forever and ever.
Just like you, I will probably try this drug too, so I won't need to hear what it does for you. Thanks anyway.
