I am reposting this because even though I haven't picked out anything in your posts that cross any lines you are by definition biased. If your not here for help with a mental disorder it's kind of silly that your here at all. Yes for many, Lexapro will work as an antidepressant, and for some it will not, and other still will have problems with it entirely.. To think it will be light years ahead of anything currently available is preposterous. Everyone is different and your studies with 10,000 patients by doctors who are paid in grants and whose funding has been "underwritten in educational disguise" have consistently failed to elucidate the whole picture on any of these meds when used on a given individual. I would be a no see doc if I was one. Donuts for my office staff and samples for my patients, otherwise... well anyways my post below is what Forest's real goal is. If a few suffering people can benefit than great.
Citalopram is the #1 most used AD in the world
Forest has the marketing rights to Citalopram in the US under Celexa, but not in Europe where it actually is the number 1 prescribed antidepressant. In Europe and all other non-us companies, citalopram is owned by various other companies.
Forest will have full international rights to Lexapro and will launch a campaign to convert the entire world on Citalopram (Celexa and other names) to the new improved Leaxapro. Much more marketshare and money.
Believe me when I tell you that there is not a single person in the pharmaceutical industry who cares about you and your depression as much as they care about you and your money. Their motivations are always 100% based on bottom line revenue. Don't ever think for a second they have any other motivation whatsoever. Altruism is not welcome in this industry. Thats what Church on Sunday is for...
