New Opiod Medication
Not sure if this is the right area for this but......
A new opiod medication has just been approved by the FDA called Nucynta (tapentadol). From what I understand it is the first single compound to work on both the opiate and norepinephrine receptors. You can find more information on Wikipedia or their websitehttp://www.nucynta.com/nucynta/ I would like to bring up discussion on this drug because increasingly studies are showing that antidepressants can cause dependency and I doubt there is much information on dependancy issues with this drug yet.

Not in UK yet :-(
"In the European Union, tapentadol is currently in phase III of the development programme for severe acute and chronic pain. Grünenthal plans the submission in Europe in the second quarter 2009"
sounds like an interesting development.
