According to Wikipedia, Vanoxerine is in clinical trials in the US.

I'm skeptical that this will ever be approved.
My question is: Why aren't DA reuptake inhibitors (i.e. Phenmetrazine and Amineptine) illegal in the US, whereas psychostimulants are widely available? Why is it acceptable for people with ADHD to take drugs that are highly addictive [or, hell, even anxiety disorders], whereas if a drug for depression has addictive potential, the FDA automatically wants to shut it down? This is why I am shocked that Parnate is available, as it has definite abuse potential.
Is the FDA just afraid that if they start approving "addictive" antidepressants that they will lend credence to those who erroneously claim that SSRIs are addictive?
