Common Questions and Answers about Taking lunesta in the day
lunesta
You've come so far. You don't want to give up now. That's EXACTLY how I was yesterday. I was so hyped up at how great I felt the days before and then it all set me back. I toyed with every scenario in my head and it made me crazy and hated myself. Finally I just got up, cranked the music(and I mean major crankage). Did the dreaded task of taking down all my Christmas decorations. I even forced myself out to run some errands. Every song I heard reminded me of a memory.
I tried melotonin and valerian root, the valerian helped with me falling asleep but I don't stay asleep for more than 3-4 hours at night. I took the Lunesta last night and was out for 8 full hours but I am a little scare to take it. So tonight I'm not gonna take it and maybe ill just take it every other day. But see that's how I started with the tramadol just one here and there for back pain then I was up to taking 12 a day.
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.
t know as much about what to do about the Lunesta, except to say that taking sleep medication for a long time usually gives you worse insomnia, not better, but I'm not as familiar with the withdrawal problems with it. Going on neurontin might help, but if your goal is to stop playing with GABA by getting off the Xanax, the neurontin will present the same problems over time -- it's shooting pure GABA into your brain.
This is my day 11! I never thought last week I would be here today typing about 11 days clean. I slept till six this morning. My goal tonight is no melatonin. If I'm up, I'm up. I praying very hard to my god for strength to get through the RLS in my arms. I know it can't be taken away, that is something that only time will fade, but I just want strength to not lose my mind when it sets in. I'm thinking it should be over soon.
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.
s great we are booked until April. I actually have money in checking acct. for the first time in ages.lol Talk to ya later.
Trazadone is a great med that helps with sleep and it will also help w/anxiety the next day after u take it.I remember taking them when I was taking like6-8mg of xanax a day and I quit and took the trazadone to help w/sleep cause benzo w/d is rough and sleep doesnt come easy.Well to my surprise it helped a lot with not feeling like I was gonna jump out of my skin.The only thing is for me((maybe cause I needed it so badly)I slept9+hours the1st few times I took it).
00am in the morning every day. Then it got worse were now I can not sleep on my own at all. I am having to take sleeping pills to sleep. I tried Ambien, Ambien CR, Lunesta, and amitriptyline. Each medicine would only let me sleep for four hours a night. So I am taking the Lunesta right now. But it is very hard functioning during the day as I am very fatigued. My body previously was use to getting 8 hours of sleep a day.
For the last fev days, ever since we are using humidifier I have a metallic taste in my mouth; the strongest is always in the morning; my husband just turn on house humidifier and I wonder if this is just coincident, or it does have something to do with the humidifier... furnice, and humidifier are working more during the night, that would explain, but is so strange... anybody has any idea?
You might try taking a combination of Valerian and Melatonin when you stop the Lunesta. I was taking Lunesta in my early withdrawals and it did make me sleep, but that nasty taste was to much for me. I must say I haven't really slept really well since, but the herbs I mention do help somewhat, I take a hot bath before bed then I take them. From what I've heard Lunesta withdrawals are mainly mental, but you can get addicted to just about anything.
On my days off of work, I try not taking anything and just sleep in the next day. I have also tried Melatonin and Valerian Root. They are natural sleep aids. I havent had much luck with them. The Lunesta doesnt cause the weird behaviors for me that Ambien sometimes causes. If I dont go to sleep right away with Ambien, I tend to do odd things. Its like sleep walking but Im not fully asleep. I remember bits an pieces of things the next day. I hope things get better for you.
He suggested Lunesta and it seemed to work enough to get atleast 6hrs of sleep and felt well rested the next day. since the new health laws went in to effect I unfortunately went through pdocs after doc because they would leave the practice. So, I end up with the last/current one, seems she got a wild hair and decided, (this past Monday) the Lunesta and Addrall was making my Brain like Jelly???? Told me if I did not believe her I could 'Google' it.
