lunesta klonopin

) 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.

As needed or regularly? I personally would be scared to take Klonopin and Lunesta together. Have you done it yet? Is the Lunesta just for once in awhile?

I have just started Klonopin for lack of sleep! not depression or anxiety... however, now after a week I am finding that I am emotional, tearing up a lot........ Lack of sleep is the pain from arthritis in my neck, spine, ankle. Also SLE which often gives us lack of sleep. I also have heart problems, and diabetic. However, I have a very good outlook on life, meditate often, and have photography (hobby) as a very good release of stress.

Can I take Klonopin wafer with my other sleeps meds: Lunesta 6mg, Tamazapan 30mg and Melontonin 5mg...? Thank you.

As of last week (maybe two weeks ago), I had reduced my Klonopin intake from 3 MG/day to 1.5 MG/day.

5mg of the klonopin but he wants me using it during the day and then the Lunesta at night.... Tried it last night and ended up using the klonopin anyways..... Oh well..... I'm thinkin it's just to early to try and use a sedative like Lunesta to tame the beast anyways.... I am going to keep with the klonopin for the next few nights and give it another try just to see..... It's all about trial and error as it really seems like some things work for some that don't for others...

I can personally say that I was prescribed 8 mgs of Suboxone and 2 mgs of Klonopin per day. I had been on the Klonopin for a while before I started the Suboxone. And I was very eager to get off the Suboxone, so I always kept my dose at the threshold of withdrawal...not taking amounts that would get me high. For me, the Klonopin was actually a very helpful tool in tapering down my Suboxone.

Just a word of caution about Klonopin (also valium zanex, ativan, all benzodiazipines). They are very addiciting and can be difficult to get off of. There are several other anti-anxiety medications (which are not benzodiazipines and which are not addicting) that can be prescribed by your doctor.

not that close at all chemically...klonopin is by far the more habit forming of the 2 even if used as prescribed...down the chemical chain there are similarities and both should be tapered.....ambien can become habit forming if abused...klonopin can even easier at a prescribed dose...anything u choose to sleep with..even tylenol pm can be psychologically habitforming...if u r using 5-10 mg of ambien to sleep at night while detoxing off of klonopin...i would not worry...

I then started ativan 1mg and was able to relax enough to get to sleep I took that for four months with good results then boom I could not fall alseep with it anymore I developed a tolerence for it . I now started on Lunesta but I still have trouble falling asleep with that I am going to call my Dr and get a bigger dose its like my brain does not want to fall asleep.

It's been 8 days since I reduced my Klonopin from 3 MG per day to 1.5 MG per day. Most of the physical withdrawal symptoms have subsided (my vision is still a little blurry and I still feel a bit feverish), but the psychological symptoms are still in full-swing: irritability, agorophobia, etc. I really want to cut one of my doses so that I'm down to 1 MG per day, but I'm not sure if it's safe/wise to do so yet... Advice?

t return to that clinic, mainly because they were so pricey. About six months ago, my psychiatric nurse pract. put me on Lunesta...which helped, but not as much as the valerian (my old best, albeit stinky friend). When my new "regular" doc said lunesta interacts with thyroid meds, I just stopped it and went back on valerian...until i found some old Klonopin. It doe help but makes me sleepier than valerian, plus I don't like the side-effects I've read about...

I tried to find some information about Klonopin addiction on MedHelp, but no one really seemed to know what they were talking about in the threads I've found. Is there anyone out there that has a firm grasp on benzodiazapine addiction and withdrawal? I've been on 3 MG of Klonopin for about 1.5 years (prescribed by a doctor for panic attacks and anxiety). My doctor and I have decided to reduce this to 1.5 MG per day, down to 1 MG per day starting in one week, and down to zero in two.

ve discovered that to treat my crippling sleep breathing disease I need to use an alpha GABA agonist like klonopin or ambien. is there a medication that is even better like clorazapete or GABA acid OTC? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_receptor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA_agonist what does this mean, which disease do I have? Thanks!

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.

t know what to do except try to taper off the Klonopin, but that is hard to do too. I do think the Klonopin is the reason for the headaches.

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.

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.

so when I was in the Er last night they gave me Lunesta a sleeping pill to help me sleep I'm 31 w 5 d n my mom told me its not safe...is it..I mean babys fine n stuff but the hospital wouldn't give it to me if it wasent ok right ?

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.

I just had a hysterectomy march 24, 2009 and still recovering. I am still in a lot of pain. I went to my post-op appointment today and I am not recovering like I am supossed to (with three daughters it's hard) but I do rest while they are all in school. I am doing things I am not supposed to be doing so my doctor put me on bed rest for the next 2 weeks. I am already on prozac (depression), Lunesta (insomnia), klonopine (anxiety & sezuires)and Hormone pills.

5 to 1 mg for 28 years a new Doc took me off Xanax and put me on Lunesta. After 11 moths although I slept really well I had an anxiety meltdown almost to point of an emergency room visit with a panic attack. I went back to my former Doc and he put me back on Xanax. But it wasn't working like before as the med would wear off in 3 to 5 hours. It became a clock watcher drug. My doc suggested a physc. The Phys put me on Zoloft and switched me to Klonopin. Man what a difference.

Xanax is generally used short term as an anti-anxiety medication. Klonopin or another medication in the same category is safer used long term. Ambien is not meant for everyday use as a sleeping aide as it can be addictive. Lunesta or Rozerem are two better choices. Rozerem works in the same manner as Melatonin and actually adjusts the sleep cycle. Those are some ideas to speak to your psychiatrist about.

D but my meds were altered in the hospital. They kept on my normal dose of klonopin while also administering .5-1mg xanax every six hours as needed and 30mg temazapam to sleep at night. On top of this they were administering 4mg morphine IV every 3 hours. I have never been on this many meds at once I was so sedated in the hospital...I wouldn't be surprised if I developed cross tolerance.

While I am not currently on Prozac, I did take it years ago and it worked very well for me. I took klonopin, a different benzo, without a problem as well. I'm not sure what side effects you were having that you are trying to avoid. I currently take Wellbutrin. It has not made me gain weight and it has not affected my sex life like so many of the other anti-depressants. Just a thought in case you need to go down the road of another med. Take care.

My husband used Klonopin and ambien and lunesta to help him sleep when he was detoxing from hydrocodone. Now he is going through HELL ....The BENZO W/D's are so much worse then hydro...It can years to get off benzos.. AND YES TRAZADONE IS A BENZO..its not as strong...I am a RN... Please, use natural products....or stay awake...Like it was said in a week or 2 you will sleep fine...Just do not risk the benzo's..They do not affect everyone this way but when they do you have had it...

The teas helped me the most and believe it or not motrin. Push comes to shove can you get a rx mild sleep aid? Lunesta,kinda thing? Ambien is in my opinion is to strong. I like the yogi calming tea and the traditional Medicinals.Warm soaks before bed, and prayer. Good luck to you.
