I was taking Lunesta 3mg prior to the Lexapro
for 1 1/2 years. With the Lexapro, the
Lunesta was ineffective. The MD put me on 15mg of Remeron with the Lunesta and this really helped.
In an attempt to ward off tolerance to Lunesta, I now alternate ( 2 weeks at a time) between Lunesta 3mg and zolpiedem ( Ambien) Since the zolpiedem has a much shorter 1/2 life than the Lunesta, I take 5mg about 11:30 and another 5mg at 3:00 or whenever I awake.
