"As addressed in the company’s interim report for the three months ended 31 March 2005, Lundbeck announced in April the results of a head-to-head comparison of citalopram and Cipralex®, which concluded that Cipralex® is significantly more effective than citalopram in the treatment of depression. The results confirm previously published clinical results, which show that Cipralex® is superior to citalopram. In the same month, Serdolect® for the treatment of schizophrenia was approved by the European health authorities, and Serdolect® is expected to be launched in the first European markets before the end of 2005."

Anyone in the UK or elsewhere heard anything about a release date or tried this med in the past? I'm in the US myself, it seems they're talking to the FDA about releasing it here but it may be awhile or not at all because of the heart issue and their other drug bifeprunox.
I'm very interested in trying this drug, because unlike other APs, it doesn't have any reports of sedation. It also isn't supposed to cause akathisia or cognitive side effects. Abilify was the only other AP that helped me some without causing sedation and cognitive problems, but it made me irritable and anxious, and I got akathisia with it after a couple of days. One article I read also stated it has an anxiolytic property... which would be great for me.

Anyways, has anyone here tried this med? Anyone else here interested in it? Thanks,
Josh
