Yes, half the stuff I've been able to find on google about it is about the financial advantages the drug company and investors are hoping to gain from it now that most other AD's have gone generic. They didn't think it would be approved so quickly and are thrilled with the potential profits. What I haven't been able to find anything about is how exactly it is different from other SSRI's. Maybe the added partial agonist property will prevent some side effects but I'm sure there are plenty of other side effects still to be discovered. I've tried so many useless meds, just would like to know what there is, if anything, about this one that is different enough to make it worth trying.
