> I have spoken to Bodkin myself, and yes, he did state his belief that the selegiline patch will be on the market within a year from now. This is a prediction I assume to be true.

I am sure that Dr. Bodkin is optimistic and I hope he is correct but I am still not holding my breath. Check out this thread from 1999!

and we are still waiting!! How do you know Bodkin? Have you asked him about the possibility of using other drugs in patches, particularly other MAOI's?

> As for Duloxetine, I do indeed believe it is the current interaction with the FDA that is holding it up. This is of course speculation, but many assume this is the case.

I am just a little skeptical. I called Lily today and they still have not opened up recruitment for a ONE YEAR study. Obviously, the drug can go to market before the study is out. I am just wondering why they would want to fund a study for duloxetine for depression after they get approval from the FDA for this indication.

I am still optimistic. I would just rather try Cymbalta than Effexor (longer half life) and would much rather try selegeline patch to nardil or parnate.
