Doc,

Sorry to bring this thread back to the top. What is the current status of the new crop of sleep aids, like Ambien, Lunesta. I have heard about the medical bulletin on Ambien (would it be possible to get a copy?) but are there others in the group to which the low use - 48 hour advisory applies?

More generally, what is the process by which drugs such as Ambien get looked at by the FAA?

Thanks.
