Nothing that couldn't have been done with a prozac nortryptaline combination.
Ok, so lets suppose the drug companies do know that their drugs are inadequate, they still seem unwilling to take a step outside the box and try something creative. They sure don't give the public the accurate message of their effectivness.
You don't see adverisements like
"prozac, non-statistically better than placebo in one out of 9 trials!"
"prozac, a one in 9 chance, you'll feel slightly better than if you took a sugar pill"
I mean there are drugs out there, effective antideperessants, that because of small abuse potential, will never be released. They are still fixed on the idea that an antideperessant must not produce happiness in normal controlls.As far as antipsychotics go, lilly probably does't give two hoots about schitsophrenia, they're just glad that their product has such a market for SSRi induced insomnia.
