That really sucks. Drugs like gepirone would probably be really helpful for a number of conditions, even if onl as an add on.

I think that the FDA is giving new antidepressants a hard time on account of recent flack on possible suicide links to other AD's. I think that gepirone would be a lot less likely to induce treatment emergent suicidal ideation. 5-ht1a agonists have antiagressive effects, and probably do not activate the same gene profile as uptake inhibitors.

Gepirone probably has less punch to it than an SSRI, but I think it could really help certain patients achieve improvement over the long term.

The FDA is a bunch of loosers, with no eye for promising treatments.
