I believe gepirone has been withdrawn from the FDA approval process, meaning it probably will never be released. I don't know the reason, but it isn't necessarily lack of efficacy. Flesinoxan, which looked to be a very promising antidepressant with no sexual side effects, was withdrawn from consideration by its manufacturer a few years ago for reasons that appeared to have nothing to do with either its efficacy or any risk potential. It seemed to be purely a business decision, one that was unfortunate for us.
