FDA Requests Sleep Drugs Warning

yes...
 
Thanks for posting this, Chemar.

Could you copy it to Useful Websites? I have a post there with FDA warning
letters listed. Then it would not be lost as time passes on the regular forum.

Ambien specifically is very problematic right now. This drug was released on
market and very little understood about how it really works. There is a post
in Health News about it...reversing a coma..for a woman even!

It is amazing how people allow themselves to become guinea pigs with new
drugs! The testing is so light these days...very controversial!

I have a deep concern over the misuse of these drugs and especially for the many young people being prescribed these without sufficient warnings of interactions and potential side effects:(
