I've read with interest this thread. I agree with Linkage and Sonny -- this is nothing to be excited about. Just another way to extend the effexor patent. The problem as I see it is that there is no real carrot for a drug company to develop a truely novel compound when then can get a 20 year patent on a simple spin off. Perhaps a graduated patent system would be better -- really novel compounds could get 20 years, crap like celexa 5 years. Of course, who decides would be an issue, but I don't know anyone where I work who's excited about this latest AD or any that are likely to be in the pipeline for the next 5 years.
