looking for non script sleep aid for first week of vicodin withdrawal. my experience has been inability to sleep, frustration and lots of sighing and leg movement. within a week i am ok.
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.

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.
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.
Celexa (depression), Ultram (pain) Vicodin (bad pain), Lunesta (to stay asleep), and now Provigil (to stay awake in the day). I have say, these all are helping, but maybe about 50%. The pain never goes away, only flucuates to bad or worse. The Lunesta is great. I tried Ambien & Sonata, but couldn't handle the side effects. Lunesta keeps me asleep but doesn't make me feel hung-over in the morning.
here is my story,,,,,two years ago i started taking vicodin,a year later i was up to 30 a day,,went to a treatment program did well there ,next i got 2 weeks later i relapsed,,,so this time after a month or two i went to my doctor,he put me on suboxin for 3 months............stayed clean till oct 2008 ,i hurt back and doctor gave me vicodin,iwas wary of takin them but i neededd to stop the pain so i took 4-6 pills per day up to this past sunday.
I've been off and on vicodin for 3 years for disc herniation. Most of the time used the prescription correctly. Last year was my bottom when I was taking 2 every 4 hours up to 8 a day and drank one night and got arrested. I am a divorced professional mom and the shame killed me. I have only had to have 2 prescriptions since then when my back went out so bad I couldn't walk. Started physical therapy again along with blood tests and a new doctor.
Hi, I was taking vicodin for 4 years about 15-20 10mg pills a day..I just recently got off the vicodin and started taking suboxene and as of 7 days ago i have been completely clean i went through the WD's it was quite easy compared to other times ive tried to stop before but couldnt bare the pain.....
I dont know why it is making me nausea. My doc then perscribed lunesta 3mg. 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.
Lack of rest was the most critical part of my experience using benzo's and sleeping pills (ambien, lunesta) during my 14 year treatment in an attempt to treat my fibromyalgia sleep disruption. All these drugs gave me a second sleep disorder on top of my primary sleep disorder.
I have been on 80 mg. Of oxy for a year now n quit cold turkey Friday night. I had no idea what I was in for. The muscle spasms , migriane followed by vomiting. Can't sleep so tried. Final call some local abuse hotline. They were closed for mlk. Call my doc. On 4th day gave Xanax for a week and lunesta at night is this a bad idea? My wife.
can i take lunesta with a natural sleep aid that has melatonin, valerian root, passionflower,chamomile, hops extract and 5-HTP?
i took 3 goodys pm and i have a 2mg lunesta....would it be a bad idea to take them together.
When I kept forgetting to take the second dose, he suggested the 30mg X-RAY And it seemed to work extremely well, I was not sleeping at all, had lots of stress and went through a number of different antidepressants, they all pretty much made feel hung over and generally like crap all day. He suggested Lunesta and it seemed to work enough to get atleast 6hrs of sleep and felt well rested the next day.
