Avatar n tn I was overdosed for 18 months or more on this medication (80mg instead of 40mg). I ended up in a walker with impaired mental function. I now have periferal neuropathy & severe balance issues. I need to know where I can find out if this is a result of the overdose or if it's coincidence.
572651 tn?1530999357 The mfg of Lunesta will send you a discount card that will pay your copay on insurance, up to $50 per month ($600 per year) if you use their sleep medicine. I figure this is information worth sharing with you ..... http://www.lunesta.com/dreamkit/lunesta-savings.html?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn As of last week (maybe two weeks ago), I had reduced my Klonopin intake from 3 MG/day to 1.5 MG/day.
Avatar n tn Which sleep aid is less addicting and less toxic, ambien or lunesta. I have heard ambien is hard on your liver.
Avatar f tn You can also contact the pharmacist for advice and you can also find information on the medicine information leaflet what to do and who to contact when experiencing any side effects and any overdose. An overdose is when someone takes too much of the prescribed medication all in one go. If your mum has taken the medication as prescribed and has started to experience side effects, her body cannot tolerate the medication. This is not an overdose, but an adverse reaction to the medication.
Avatar m tn Thank you for the info. I currently take Lunesta for insomnia. Been taking 3mg Lunesta for years. I do not abuse it and I never have, but I know I will have a hard time coming off. Trazadone sounds good. I am going to gather some information about it and talk to my doctor about switching.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn d greatly appreciate any and all input and/or insight, where it be good, bad, or indifferent, or information from anyone who has done research regarding its use (if the latter is the case, please send me the URL to bookmarked articles or other medical literature, especially regarding its efficacy.) If this is just another of the same in the meek and mild category for insomniacs as Ambien and Lunesta are, it will act like a placebo for me, and therefore please do not recommend it.
1429536 tn?1283127572 Does anyone know what will happen during a Zoloft overdose? I am diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and ADHD and impulsiveness is a huge problem. I took probably 15 - 20 100 mg Zoloft pills. About 10 minutes later my boyfriend made me make myself puke. I didn’t see any come back up unless they hid in my food. I feel very weird right now. Am I going to be ok?

266660 tn?1189755834 Lunesta seems to work okay for me. I've only taken it three or four times (I only take it as needed and not on a nightly basis.) 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.
Avatar n tn We have no way of determining whether or not this is a potential overdose situation based on the information( or lack thereof) you have provided. His considerable weight could be more of a risk factor rather than a protective element considering the respiratory problems many overweight people can encounter.
Avatar n tn how much is a laxative overdose? i have had 2 bottles of magnesium citrate, one at 6 pm yesterday and one at 4 PM, 2 dulcolax tablets 4pm, MoviPrep 32 ounces of MoviPrep and will be taking another 32 ounces of MoviPrep at 4 AM in the morning.
Avatar n tn Ok this information is coming from him. As I piece it together he stuck his nose in the bag containing a quarter ounce of coke and tried to sniff it all up. I don't know how much he got up there but for him to call me means it must be a lot cos I don't like him much but it happened 2 hours ago approximately and he's still alive, although was complaining of chest pains.
Avatar n tn ve noticed, while the internet CAN be a good source of information, including medical information, it can sometimes take time to receive answers - and sometimes time is not on your hands when you're dealing with medication. Poison Control can very easily tell you if the symptoms you're experiencing are related to the medication you've taken and what you need to do - whether it be wait it out, induce vomiting, go to the ER, etc. I hope you're feeling much better now.

736314 tn?1276884623 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.
Avatar f tn Thank you for sending out this information to me. I will look into this web site concerning nutrition and B6 overdose.
Avatar f tn I took a large lithium and valium (not my own medication) overdose about 30 years ago, I suffer from various mental and physical conditions and wondered if any of them could be attributed to that? Any insight greatly appreciated.
