On 15 June 2007 the BBC News reported [6] that a committee advising
the US FDA has voted not to recommend the drug's approval because of
concerns over suicidality, depression and other related side effects
associated with use of the drug.


And on June 30th, half of my company, including me, got laid off because of
it. d8-) I spent more than eight months working on that drug. Imagine our
suprise when it didn't get approved.

Sounds fun...no thanks.


Ah, the FDA has no sense of humor.
