The answer you and I await is ocinaplon, a non-addictive anxiolytic owned by Dov Pharmaceuticals. The drug was prepared for Phase III trials but was held up by the FDA for safety reasons. So, most likely the FDA is holding up the "magic bullet" medicine, a non-addictive, non-amnestic anxiolytic. Don't they realize that millions of folks, like you and me, will benefit from this? I imagine they do, but since once of the trial participants had liver issues, which were possibly drug related (officially), they've held up the trial for 4 months.
