> > After conducting 24 clinical trials involving more than 2,700 adults and elderly patients, Sepracor, Inc. has been sent an "approvable" letter by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new hypnotic medication, Estorra (eszopiclone). When final approval is achieved, Estorra will be available by prescription for the treatment of insomnia. According to a report by Sepracor, there will not be limits on the duration of use for this medication.

I didn't even know this med was being tested - nonetheless to be marketed as being "ok" to take for longer periods of time. I'm a terrible insomniac - Ambien used to be my savior even after taking it for years. But now it's finally pooped out a bit. So, hopefully this new med will work out....?
