should i take lunesta with food

I take 3mg/night. Should I taper the Lunesta. My next refill could be filled at 2mg, and so on. Or would it be ok to just quit. I expect rebound insomnia. Ill take tylenol pm or benadryl and do my best. Ive heard its similar to a benzo (surprise) so I would like to avoid any type of benzo type w/drawal, which Ive never had but heard are horrendous.

Thanks for the info on Trazodone; I didn't know it was an anti-depressant. I guess I will stick with the Melatonin and Ibuprofen PM. I'm sure ABN is right and we all have to give it time, but as addicts we want it all right NOW, lol.

) 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.

I'm on Ambien every night, otherwise, I would only get 2 hours of sleep a night. The benefits outweigh the risks. My doctor said there is a chance of depending on it to put you to sleep, but when my newborn comes, I'll wean off of it from having to be up with him all night. I even took Ambien with my first son, and he was born picture perfect. Get some rest!

I think the biggest side effect that you might have will be insomnia. I used to take Lunesta and when I stopped I didn't sleep for a week. On a positive note,,,COngrats on 20days!!!

Ok yeah I only take the 3 mg but forgot I took it then took it again. I will make sure that doesn't happen.

When i take my oxy,i get an upset stomach. What should i do? Take Oxycontin with food?

Way back this summer my periods started coming every two weeks, facial hair started coming in, and I started sleeping less. I am only 42. With every period i strated sleeping less and less and now with my surgery only 16 days away, I can not sleep at all. I have a clear cyst on my left ovary a solid one on my right. My GYN is taking the entire right ovary, and the cyst off the left. My uterus is a whole other story. It has to come out also. Nothing changes the amout of bleeding.

Until Doc Jeff gets with you ....... slow down the diazepam... slow down the fentanyl lollypops (hopefully to less than daily)..... only take the lunesta for insomnia - not nightly for sleep..... How often daily does he need the diazepam and the fentanyl now? The opana does the same thing as the fentanyl - - keep those as far apart as you can. Dont mix the lunesta and the diazepam in too close a dose. They will also mirror each others affects.

I take between 14-20 7,5 vicadene everyday for 10 yrs then take 9 mg of lunesta to sleep.

my legs r raw from always moving n shaken I just want to sleep lunesta gave 4hrs. When I go back to work will I be the man I was over a year ago. Or sum mindless zombie?

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.

Along with eating healthy food, I take several vitamins a day. I take 1 multi-vitamin, 2 calcium, 3 fish oil, 1 vitamin c, 1 vitamin e, 2 resveritrol, and 1 inositol. I was wondering if thy are vitamins I should be taking, or if I should eliminate some of them. If so, which ones.

I take lunesta for sleep, cymbalta for those down times it also helps with pain. I have had 8 surgeries so I do take other pain meds.

I was prescribed xanax about a year ago for panic attacks due to a rape and I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic stress. I never took them at that time. I don't like to take pills at all. They prescribed me Lunesta for sleeping. It worked pretty good. I had a miscarriage April 18th and haven't had a good night sleep since. I haven't slept more than 3 or 4 hours.

The Lexapro help greatly in the diminishing the GAD but I just could not exist with 45 minutes of sleep a night. 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.

I broke up with my girlfriend recently (two months ago) and before one month I started to have something like panic seisures.One or two times a day I start thinking very negative things that make me very anxious and I'm having a feeling I'm losing my mind. This feeling sometimes go away and sometimes not,but If I take 0.5 mg xanax I'm ok. Also I swet a lot in some social occations that normaly I could handle easily althought I have some kind of social phobia.

I have been taking 5mg of generic ambien for about 5 yrs. I take a pill every night. If not I am worthless during the day from lack of sleep. I know that this is discouraged but since I have to work, I have no choice.

ve decided to clean up. Try the trazodone that the eagle recommended.. Dont bother with Ambien or Lunesta - it wont help... I took Lunesta through detox and for all I know a tic tac would have been more effective. You know you can get through it - you have done it before. Just stay strong and prepare for the 'staying' clean part.. much harder than the 'getting' clean part. Best of luck!

i am on lunesta, i take a break every now and then, but the doc said it was ok.

I had a horrible rock climbing injury and before I knew it, my body needed them to not be sick. I just could not take it anymore. I am also on Lunesta and Valium, as I have extreme anxiety, insomnia and PTSD from being raped as a virgin teen. The w/ds are scarier in our own minds. YOU can DO this. Epsom salt baths to relax, I found some melatonin/valerian root to help me sleep from the health food store. Also Sedalia, a natural anxiety, stress reliever.

Hey again, I forgot to add....congrats on the DAY 2 milestone. Yes it's a milestone, an important one. I had my Day 2 only 6 days ago so I surely can commiserate with the sleep thing. I am supposed to camp on our Thanksgiving in Canada which is Oct 11th. We are camping in northern Ontario and October up there can start to get pretty cold. I've seen snow that time of year. Thankfully I should be done with the chills before then!! I'm not eating any worms though!!

I was on the regular Ambien and it got so that it would only work 4 out of 7 nights. I changed to Ambien CR and now I think I have maybe 1 out of 30 nights that I can't get to sleep. I have to remember to take it about an hour before I go to bed, because it doesn't work as fast as they say it will, but once it goes to work, I'm out for the night.

I had an allergic reaction to ambien so I can not personally reccomend it. However I loved my lunesta, it worked very fast. Now, just like with pain pills when you take sleeping pills be prepared to go to sleep. They are aiding you not making you go to sleep. It is not anesthesia so don't expect it to work as such. I no longer can afford the lunesta I go to my local VA for my medications and they don't carry lunesta.
