etymology of the word 'zoloft" Actualy citalopram is marketed as CeleXa in the US. Sounds like a winner. Quote:

Because, like all new antidepressant and antipsychotic brand names, it follows Brash's Law of psychpharm marketing: "Thou shalt have a Z or an X in thy brand name".
Look and see!
ProZac
Zoloft
PaXil or AropaX
LuvoX
AuroriX or ManeriX
EffeXor
SerZone
ZypreXa, which has an"x" and a "z".
The only exception is the latest SSRI, called citalipram, brand name
Cipramil.

etymology of the word 'zoloft" Basically, for most products these days, most real words have been used up,
so they have to rely on special consultants who make up names. I suppose
{*filter*} have always needed this treatment, but it's just getting more obvious.
I tend to agree with the "Z of X" theory, myself. These consultants pick a
list of words that have the meaning and sound they are looking for, add a Z
or P, then a connecting vowel or ending.
Loft with zoloft
My Pal Paxil (throw in the latin for "peace" as well)
Go with the Pros with Prozac
Effective with Effexor

This has resulted in the unfortunate nickname "Side-Effexor," however. And what _about_ Zyprexa? Did they steal that from the name of some alien
planet in Star Trek, or what?
