Anyone know?
The stock answer that the drug companies just want to make money does not make any sense to me. My basic understanding of economics would lead me to believe that a price closer to that of ssri's would cause more people to take it (and make ins. companies more willing to prescribe it) which would make the company more money.
Is it just really expensive to manufacture? Someone has to know a reason.
