Last year, it did the trick, it would put
me to sleep within an hour, and keep
me alseep for most of the night, within 2 weeks I was able to stop taking it & get back to a normal sleeping pattern. This year I started taking the Lunesta again, & have now refilled the RX, so it's about 3 weeks on it. It will put me to sleep within an hour, but I wake up in about 4-5 hours. I'm not wide awake, but I kind of toss & turn til it's time to get up.
