Hi...
I'd just say what most here have already. I'd also add it has similar functions of existing meds out there. IMHO, these meds work best in combinations. (Not 100% of the time..but maybe in particular for treatment-resistant...which seem to be more the norm.) The thinking now seems to be that anxiety and depression are opposite heads on the same coin, but they still must be fought with different medications.(At least with forward-thing docs.) Same with BP 2/3, manifesting itself as extreme anxiety and depression. Many of these symptoms cross-over. Anyhow, until a better treatment comes along,(likely with some different mode of action) these SSRI/SNRI's will just be "standard". Nothing to really get excited about.
Best,
Jay
