The first antidepressants being not very selective at all, to drugs like Celexa which are highly selective-- then to drugs like effexor (reminiscent of the TCA's), the reemergence of the MAOIs (deprenyl), and even simple stimulants (like strattera)-- and NOW triple re-uptake inhibitors... I think changes in treatment options are primarily due to "trends" rather than efficacy.
