Yes, I think you can get it through FOIA.

 

There's some kind of unpublished information on prolonged withdrawal syndrome out there. Peter Haddad alludes to it, Richard Shelton knows about it, and a psychiatrist high up in the UCSF faculty told me Alan Schatzberg knows about it (the psychiatrist knew about it, too, but still refused to discuss it with me).

 

Just reviewing this thread..

 

I remembered after Kirsch was on 20/20 (60 Minutes?), I exchanged messages with a few people, including J. Leo, and found disturbing info about the many ways and places that clinical trials disappear. This article on Pharmalot speaks of the problem. In a nutshell, there is no official oversight. Trials can be started, changed, stopped, etc with no official governing body.

I'm skeptical about NIH and FDA overseeing pharma.
