You might try taking a combination of Valerian and Melatonin when you stop the Lunesta. I was taking Lunesta in my early withdrawals and it did make me sleep, but that nasty taste was to much for me. I must say I haven't really slept really well since, but the herbs I mention do help somewhat, I take a hot bath before bed then I take them. From what I've heard Lunesta withdrawals are mainly mental, but you can get addicted to just about anything. And I could be completely wrong, it may be physically addictive.
awwwe thats to bad I have taken it a few times and its worked really well and it is supposed to be safer.... I loved to commercials as well
I took Rozarem. My doctor rx'd the rozarem along with the lunesta (this was my sub doctor - said it was perfectly safe and I had no bad effects from it). I actually liked the rozarem. I dont know if youve ever seen the "It brings your dreams back" commercials, but it REALLY DID bring my dreams back. I got such a kick out of that. I dreampt every night. (I no longer ever dream). I stopped getting it though as it was not covered under my insurance and couldnt afford it. Plus this was when I was on sub too and I just couldnt afford all three.
if you are going talk to the pharmacist and you need something what about rozerem i heard that was supposed to be very safe ask him/her what the differences are
Ill ask the pharmacist. Good idea. One of the main reasons I want to quit is I heard a doctor on a raido talk show talk about how sleep aids like Lunesta or Ambien are good for very very short term, but its not real sleep and your not getting the proper cycle and the proper rest period on them. May be the reason Im so tired all the time. Doc doesnt seem overly concerned with my using it or stopping it.
boy bondage I dont know I have not heard alot of negative things about lunesta . how close is it to ambien.....that's the one i have heard the most about ....i would ask you pharmacist for there opinion.
