I find it especially amusing that just as the British government is pulling this off the market as being more dangerous than benzos, the US FDA has approved it as being the only sleep aid thats safe for long-term daily use. The FDA here just had several major public scandals involving letting dangerous drugs or drug uses through the safety screening process (Vioxx, and the use of SSRIs in children) which resulted in heart attacks and a bunch of kiddie suicides. Anybody care to start the countdown until the first class action lawsuit over Lunesta (zopiclone)?
