Incidentally, another antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac), was recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD). However, this drug will be marketed under a different name, Sarafem, for the same reason cited with Wellbutrin SR, to avoid the "stigma" of
depression attached with Prozac. Eli Lilly's patent for Prozac (long-acting fluoxetine) is about to expire (next year, either February or August 2001;
Lilly is appealing, however). Awaiting on the wings is the generic version of Prozac, and ready for release, if the court does not intervene.

A done deal. Lilly did not prevail. Generic prozac is on the way. Check the arcives, I posted on this, for more info.
