I have to agree. All the drug companies put comercials on the air making it sound like they're so very interested in helping people. The truth is that it is about money. Effective treatments have come and gone time and time again.

SSRI's are great for everbody. Sure. They make you serene and easy to manage. Lie around all day and eat those little white powdered donuts. No danger to society.

I think it is possable to create dopaminergically based meds with no abuse potential. Dopamine agonists have no abuse potential, and neither does SJW.

Wellbutrin doesn't really have that strong a dopaminergic mechanism. Its effects on dopamine do not appear to be sufficiant to explain its antidepressant effect.

There was a triple uptake inhibitor in the pipelines for depression. DOV 216 303. But, I don't think that it will ever see the light of day. Withdrawl too from this drug would likely make effexor withdrawl seem like a piece of cake.
