It is the newest SSRI so it will be a long time.

Its NDA approval NDA #021323 was August 14, 2002, so theoretically it wouldn't be until 2019. But the 17 year rule may extend earlier when it was first discovered in Phase I. The laws here in the US I'm not completely clear on but the latter may be true in which case it would be before.

Is the previous poster Canadian? Generics rules are a little different and I believe the patenting expires earlier but I'm not sure. Generics in Canada generally come from India and also from Israel like we have.
