Definately risks... but I think we discussed that its unlikely that that many schedule II drugs are going to be brought out for depression without some guidelines.

Schizophrenia: Bifeprunox, possibly, 2008
Iloperidone, Phase III
Paliperidone, possibly 2007-8
Depression: Desvenlafaxine, possibly 2007
Vilazodone, relicensed, Phase III

Wish there were more out there too -- there are new ideas on the horizon but things like NK1 receptor agents and other drugs are a ways away at this point.
Paliperidone I believe is a continuous delivery metabolite of Risperdal. Desvenlafaxine, usual patent extension probably, but maybe the metabolite will be different for some people.
