Thanks so much, Larry. I called Eli Lilly and was told that the forecasted availability date is February 15, 2008. The woman I spoke to said that a doctor can prescribe it now and the pharmacist will notify the person when the script is available.Re Lexapro - it must be the generic that is now available in Canada, which is good. I have been on Lexapro for close to a year now.
