Maybe you're right. That was my first reaction. OTOH, maybe it wasn't marketed right or maybe people are afraid to take prescription diet drugs after Fen-Phen. It hasn't been approved as an antidepressant so that cuts down on the depression market. It seems like there are several other factors that could be involved.k
