Patent on the drug has almost elapsed. As most anti depressants are long term medication there will be little use in starting to take them (in the view of the manufacturer that is) That is probably why they are out of use.
Also there has been a lawsuit n 2004 due to the discontinuation side effects of the drug. Websites on the subject are closed.

the brand name in the US is EFFEXOR, and it is legal, and widely used to treat depression. It is generally perceived as safe.
i don't know about Europe.
