Prozac's patents expired about 23 years ago, and therefore the market pressure from generic manufacture, as well as more stylish Kardashian/Hiltonesque designs such as Sertraline, Pristique, Paxil, and Femoxitene, necessitates a neverending quest for additional ways to stand out during successive seasons of leisurely luncheons with psychiatrists, and compete for shrinking shelf/Dumpster space, as was accurately depocted in the recent documentary "Love & Other Drugs"
There's an expansion of applications, and There's a Wideness in God's pharMacy yet to be exploited, and let's face it, consumers and prescribers alike may have a gut reaction to rumors that the etiology of depression isn't necessarily a neurotransmitter deficiency.
The study long-term effects, neglect, and abuse of fluidetine is indeed already underway. However we've made a rookie mistake of forgetting that this heavy lifting is done by the attorneys and courts of civil law, where class-action suits litigate with billions at stake if they can produce enough obese 14-year-old boys who now wear underwire brassieres that harsh everyone's mellow. Long-term-effect study is a money loser and a reputation liller. No sane pill factory dares to venture into probing whatever a drug does once it's passed the cash registers and Visa terminals. Heaven forefend.
