lunesta and interactions

Ativan by itself is safe and I have not heard of any specific interactions to watch out for with it and Buspar together but there are always possibilities with medications that can emerge so give your psychiatrist a call and they can adjust it and titrate it as needed and see what's going on. If you are taking any other medications you could let us know and maybe we could give a little more information but of course your psychiatrist is the one to speak to about this and you should.

at the top of the page, and you can enter your meds and then it will check the interactions. I will tell you that I just did it and the list is long. Not only does it do that, but next to each medication name before you do the the interaction checker there is a little symbol that will let you view all drug interactions for that particular drug. Prazosin for example has 3 major drug interaction, 396 moderate and 2 minor drug interactions. You have a really serious list of pills there.

I am having to take sleeping pills to sleep. I tried Ambien, Ambien CR, Lunesta, and amitriptyline. Each medicine would only let me sleep for four hours a night. So I am taking the Lunesta right now. But it is very hard functioning during the day as I am very fatigued. My body previously was use to getting 8 hours of sleep a day. Do you know of any other medicines that would help with longer sleep? How long does it usually take for the sleep to return on its own?

that may be taken w/SOC and Vic? Sleep has been elusive for weeks and PCP giving me samples of Lunesta (Ambien causes heart palps and mild hallucinations.) I am on AD's, but begin SOC this evening and I am having anxiety (yes, I realize this is normal also). TIA.

I dont know why it is making me nausea. My doc then perscribed lunesta 3mg. Has anyone tried lunesta and experienced better sleep with it? I am afraid of trying lunesta because i dont want to feel so nausea again. I didn't take any sleep med last night...didnt have a very good sleep but still i feel nausea. I need something to help me sleep without causing nausea and to help me sleep like a baby throughout the night pleaseee.

So, I promised not to post a thread any earlier than every 5 days cuz it's unfair to flood the forum!!!!! Here's my update!!!! Da1-3 was pure he11!!!! I have never dealt with such lack of energy and depression and sick to my stomach and chills and etc., etc...... I wouldn't wish that upon my worse enemy!!!! Day 4 I felt a little better and today even a little better.... I am still concerned about the half life of the Fent.

Hey all, so I got tired of not sleeping more than 4hrs a night after being off of Tramadol 42days and my Dr gave me Lunesta. I asked if it was addicting and he said yes but you won't buid up a tolerance to it... I would like to hear this though from someone that has taken this medication and has had to come off it... How hard was it? What where the wds like???ect.ect any info on this would be appreciated...Thank You. Jeffi.

I'm on Ambien every night, otherwise, I would only get 2 hours of sleep a night. The benefits outweigh the risks. My doctor said there is a chance of depending on it to put you to sleep, but when my newborn comes, I'll wean off of it from having to be up with him all night. I even took Ambien with my first son, and he was born picture perfect. Get some rest!

It's 3 weeks since I've been having a pretty serious depression, including anxiety & sleeplessness. I was put on a new antidepressant LexiPro (15 days now), xanax as needed, which I only need to "take the edge off" when Im shaky, and Lunesta to sleep. This is the 2nd time I've used Lunesta.

The highest available dose of Lunesta is 3mg. Recently, thought is that Lunesta, Ambien, and others in this class are very similar to benzodiazepine drugs. But I haven't read much about addiction or withdrawl from these meds. Seems like insomnia would be a given, but you could try melatonin or valerian root to combat that. Good luck either way.

Does anyone know if thats good i tried it once and really liked it it doesnt seem to be addicting

When I kept forgetting to take the second dose, he suggested the 30mg X-RAY And it seemed to work extremely well, I was not sleeping at all, had lots of stress and went through a number of different antidepressants, they all pretty much made feel hung over and generally like crap all day. He suggested Lunesta and it seemed to work enough to get atleast 6hrs of sleep and felt well rested the next day.

Now I am post TX and the insomnia has not yet left, so they prescribed Ambien and Lunesta for me (i grew allergic to something in the benedryl). They are all harmless to liver but the ambien & lunesta do cause dependence so I alternate them: Ambien for a couple nights, then lunesta (which does not work as well for me) for one night. The 'dependence' is not a big deal; just means you'll have a several very sleepless nights after you quit them.

its been 2 days on That dose, tday im gonna try not to take it. My Doc prescribed me some 350mg soma for the pain and lunesta for sleep. Im going to try taking soma if the pain becomes unbearable, any advice pls?

this is just my experience, and I'm not on tx yet...I can't take Lunesta and ambien, ambien makes me feel nutzo the next morning, but many people are fine with it...I take ativan if I have had a lot of sleepless nights in a row, and at a very low dose...I find tranquilizers lull me into sleep, which I prefer...best of luck...

I never tried remeron, but ambien was horrible and so was resterol the taste of the lunesta that it leaves in your mouth is horrible so there is no easy answer but I did find the ativan did help for a while and I still take it with the lunesta and I agree if I get a good nights sleep the next day is much better.

) I was prescribed Klonopin for anxiety and sleep and she said to not take it with Lunesta (this is after I asked *her*, she didn't mention it until then.) The Klonopin seems to work as well as the Lunesta, BTW. Kevin, I've read that Lunesta and Ambien are the same "types" of sleep aids but that is all I know. I hope Ryan can clear this up for us.

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.

Recently, i have been on night duty every other week. I am having to use Lunesta to hep me sleep during the day but would rather use something more natural- I was thinking of melatonin- there seems to be conflicting reports about it's effect with autoimmune diseases. I have been stable for a few years- has anyone with Hashi's actually used it?

Hi Everyone: After having had my symtpoms almost completely go away for weeks, I seem to be have a pretty big flair in my symptoms. I posted the other day that my regular doc (not my LLMD) is trying to get me off of my Xanax that I started years ago for sleeping issues. Anyway, I was taking between .5 and .75 mg per night for sleeping. This is a very small dosage. Anyway, so the last three nights, I've only taken .25 mg around 5 or 530 and then Lunesta at bedtime.

I take zoloft and ultram on a daily bsbis. Is there any concern with bad interactions? so far I feel none.

i also take hormones and xanax...i read where alot of my meds have interactions...but pharmisits say its ok.............
