Serotonin antidepressants, step aside there’s a new kid in town. The FDA has just approved a new antidepressant that contains the active ingredient found in over-the-counter cough medicines. This new drug, which will be available soon, is said to work more rapidly than the current antidepressants. So if you're struggling with depression, this may be something to ask your doctor about in the coming months.
