Lunesta drug test
Common Questions and Answers about Lunesta drug test
lunesta
My husband is taking quite a few meds, and I am starting to wonder if he is taking a combo that is not right. He goes to one doctor to get xanax and lunesta, and then another doctor to get paxil and then a 3rd doctor has him on neurontin. Can this combo of drugs be right? Just seems like they are over-medicating, or else they may not know the others exist. I have asked him, and he gets angry when I talk about it. I'm at wits end here. I don't know how to help.
Which sleep aid is less addicting and less toxic, ambien or lunesta. I have heard ambien is hard on your liver.
I have been on 80 mg. Of oxy for a year now n quit cold turkey Friday night. I had no idea what I was in for. The muscle spasms , migriane followed by vomiting. Can't sleep so tried. Final call some local abuse hotline. They were closed for mlk. Call my doc. On 4th day gave Xanax for a week and lunesta at night is this a bad idea? My wife.
There may be hope in the not too distant future, I believe. There is a new drug for sleep issues that one of the large Pharma's will be filing a NDA ( new drug application) with the FDA by the end of this year. This drug is called eplivanserin and does not target the GABAa receptors in the brain like all the benzo's and other hypnotics. I have similar problems and have been following the clinical trials and other news on this drug.
I've taken ambien and lunesta. All sorts of problems with ambien including abuse. None of those issues with lunesta. It's still a hypnotic and anyone taking them should be educated about the drug and cautious about its use.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
If you don't feel comfortable with a drug choice, you have every right to ask for an alternative medication. Do you suffer from depression as well? Most doctors tend to avoid sleep meds, as they don't work long term, but can be effective in the short term, to get you back into a nortmal sleep pattern. There are other options out there. Do some research, and maybe find other alternatives.
I started taking Ambien & Prozac in Oct 2009. I started building a resistance so my doctor prescribed for me Restoril, that didn't work so she started me on Lunesta. After I started building a resistance to the Lunesta my doctor prescribed for me Ambien CR 12.5mg. It's now March 2010 and I need 4 or more Ambien CR to sleep. I can't sleep without it!!! I haven't taken the CR 12.5mg in 24hr and I have the common addiction symptoms.
Simvastatin 20 mg(1T QD), Diazepam 10 mg(1T TID), Opana ER 40 mg(1T BID), Atenolol 100 mg(1T QD), Lunesta 3 mg(1T HS), Cymbalta 60 mg(1C BID), Fentora 800 mcg(1T BID PRN), Fentanyl Citrate 1200 mcg(One lollipop QID PRN).
He was OK for a couple of months but yesterday he started acting weird again. Slurred speech(more than usual), lack of balance, forgetfulness, etc.
How can I prevent future episodes from happening? Please I need help.
Hey Sandy is Lyrica better than Lunesta? I'm trying out the Lunesta but I get a metalic flavor after I take it and it doesn't go away till like mid day the next day...
The cheap kind at the drug store is mag oxide (read the back), it does nothing for you. You need mag- glycinate, -malate or -citrate.
Valerian root before bed also works. But do not take melatonin - bad for thyroid hormones.
The above might not completely solve, but will help insomnia. I would also suggest testing FT3.
