Lunesta and sleepwalking
Common Questions and Answers about Lunesta and sleepwalking
lunesta
They gave me trazodone and it did nothing for me. I would even take 4 and it didn't do anything. I'm on lunesta now. It works.
Oh my gosh - @ essdipity - Ambien and Lunesta and sleep-eating! I'd forgotten all about that... LOL, do you know if friend only ever eats tuna in her sleep? I just wonder if some people have their certain "sleep foods" :)
@HVAC, I was eating ice cream when I read your post and it made me start choking with laughter - "The odd thing is if people ask me if I am asleep I tell them yes," oh man!
The person is not consciously awake when sleepwalking, and yet if you saw someone sleepwalking, they look awake. They can come into the living room, sit down in a chair, open a magazine, and all the while technically be asleep. The explanations I've read have to do with part of the brain failing to turn off during sleep. And if you wake a sleepwalker, they are really disoriented and angry at you! Maybe this is what she does when sleepwalking.
she may have been sleepwalking and come too and realized it and felt freaked out and scared (it can have that affect). What works for me (I really do it very rarely now) is to sleep with a fan on or something that makes white noise. It blocks out the sounds that wake me slightly . . . I will still jump out of bed and run to my kids rooms when they've made no sound and nothing is wrong----- but it is kind of like an instinct thing.
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.
I am sleeping on a loft bed right now, and the other night i literally jumped from it in my sleep and landed on my feet and woke up. It was the most insane thing I've done in my sleep. Last night I walked down my ladder and started talking to my roommate. The weird thing is though I remember when i sleep walk.
My anxiety normally has it's ups and downs, and i believe I sleep walk more when I'm having anxiety.
I
t's starting to worry me.
When I was around 5 or 6 I was sleepwalking pretty frequently. I stopped sleepwalking around 8. Fast forward to 5yrs ago (I'm 59). I went into my house to get something to drink. I then went outside. That was the last thing I remembered until I woke up the next morning. My wife said we had fun with the grandchildren and had a bonfire. She said it was about 3 or 4 hours from the time I went outside until we went to bed.
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.

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.
Sleepwalking can be dangerous, as the sleepwalker is unaware of environment and can injure self by falling or bumping into things. Sleepwalking seems to run in families and may also be provoked by sleep deprivation. Morning-evening walk, casual stretches, nutritious diet with lot of water or other liquids, hot shower and listening to soft music before going to bed can be soothing to mind and body so it may be of some help.
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.
he was still yelling at me about things that were about me and my life, but still calling me by his exgirlfriends name. i finally got him to lay down and he immediately fell asleep and when i woke up the next day, he didn't remember anything that had happened at all.
could it be night terrors? or something more than that? this is the only time this has happened, he said he used to talk in his sleep and he screamed once in his sleep not remembering but other than that, nothing more.
m worried something could happen in the future. If he picked up our baby whilst sleepwalking. what do you think and has anybody been through these worries?
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...
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Understand your predicament.
Somnambulism or sleep walking as it popularly called occurs in about 15% of children. This does not need any therapy in children and usually resolves as the child grows. But in adults it could be associated with stress, anxiety or other sleep disorders. Sleep deprivation and stress are known to aggravate these symptoms.
So, consult your doctor, he may treat her for the anxiety episodes.
IS it a possibility to have sleepwalking and have sex with someone when I'm at home, and the door is locked. And if it is would a sleep walker appear back in bed? I found myself back in bed but I had this dream of unprotected sex. I don't know if sleepwalkers can guide themselves back in bed, or even use keys to go out.
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.
Now it has come full circle and the intrusive thought has shifted and evolved to the idea of me sleepwalking and having sexsomnia or getting assaulted and not remembering because I was sleepwalking and being infected that way. I have heard that described as having your brain stuck in a gear that it can't get out of. I have not had a real relationship with anyone for 8 months and its turned my life upside down.
I don't know how it spiraled.
