Not much we don't already know - only new nugget I heard is that he specifically mentioned the pain ICE.

Here's an interesting Lilly quote from a Bloomberg article (posted in full on Yahoo Club):

Early research indicates the new Prozac may be less likely to
cause anxiety and insomnia, said Ed West, a Lilly spokesman. More
work will have to be done before Lilly knows for certain whether
the new drug has these advantages over the existing Prozac. Lilly
expects to seek U.S. approval of the new version of Prozac in
2001, he said.

Since its 1988 U.S. introduction, doctors have found that
Prozac can cause agitation in some patients. That can exacerbate
problems for patients who already may have had some anxiety or
trouble sleeping along with depression, said Elisabeth Kunkel, an
associate professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Thomas
Jefferson University.
``People are not as inclined to use Prozac because of the
agitation side effect,' Kunkel said.
