I wish there was an easy way for drug companies to give the drugs they make much longer half lives so they could only be taken one time a day. I just hate being so dependent on a medication and having to make sure that I take it again half way through the day just to feel better.

I've gotta wonder if this is politically motivated. I mean, the claims they make against this drug could be made against many current ADs on the market really. And what is that statement about the European market rejecting it? Isn't this originally a French drug??? What is going on here?
