I should have added that the tests are still going on though because MEDLINE has an article in Feb 2003. There was no indication though about when it might be approved.Below is one of the discussions here on PB in 2002 when the FDA did not approve the new patch.

> Not anytime soon. It was rejected by the FDA. I can't remember when though. Turns out it wasn't delivering enough of the med to the system. You might want to do an "MAOI PATCH" search on psycho-babble and I am sure you will find some of the discussion there.
