These are all after the fact data points that have been revised post FDA approval. The initial data on Zoloft showed no incidence of headaches and a far lesser degree of impotence. You say the data is clinically insignificant. Lets say you have 1000 depressed patients. Half are treated with Zoloft and 20% have headaches. The other half are treated with Paxil and 0% have headaches. From an NDA submission standpoint, are you saying this is clinically insignificant? The FDA has to make a decision on what data is available AT THE TIME OF SUBMISSION. They can't see into the future and tell what the percentages will be once a million or so patients have been treated.

If you REALLY want to complicate matters we can now get into Prozac. Insomnia- 28%. Anorexia- 11% There is clearly a difference between each drug when the NDA's are submitted. All you have to do to verify this is look at the earliest published clinical data on each of these drugs.
