I forgot that I did know that the manufacturer of Celexa (Forest?) is from another country (Australia?) But what I didn't realize was that Celexa was being used in whatever its country of origin, presumably under a different name!
So, now it makes sense that Celexa actually is about as old as Prozac (which has gone generic!) and is just new in the US.
I thought a patent lasted 17 years (kind of a weird number) because I could swear that the pharmacist told me that when Klonopin (clonazepam) finally went generic a number of years ago.
Sorry to hear that Celexa pooped out on you after only 2 years. Paxil pooped out on me after about 11 or so. What, if any, a-d are you on now?
