I just took Lunesta for the first time?!
Question: I just took Lunesta for the first time.?
I was perscribed 2mg for horrible nightly racing thoughts and sleeplessness. In the past I have taken Seroquel and Elavil perscribed for sleep and had some next dau drowsiness issues with them. Lately I have been having to take around 100-125mg (4-5 benadryl) + 3mg melatonin enhanced with l-thianine at night, and was still getting plenty of sleepless nights due to stress. Just a little history..do any of you have experiences with Lunesta.? I read the possible side effects, and they don't seem all to bad (nightmares etc.).Health Question & Answer

I have never taken Lunesta... but I can relate to the drowsiness with seroquel.. I don't think that this is the case with Lunesta though...

One of the problems with Lunesta is how to manage your Lunesta dosage. Many users find that while the manufactured dose seems small...it comes in 1, 2 and 3mg tablets, the actual amount that a person needs to maintain their sleep can be higher than that. This is causing people to abuse and potentially overdose by taking more than one pill or crushing pills and taking an unregulated amount to get sleep. As this drug becomes more widely used the problem will get worse.
An overdose on Lunesta can be serious. It can include symptoms such as excessive sleepiness, confusion, dizziness and breathing problems. If taken far enough a person can become unconscious or go into a coma. Unfortunately, many people taking this drug develop tolerance to the regular dosage and often begin experimenting with doses of their own in a desperate attempt to get much needed sleep.

If you have nightmares, avoid vitamin B-6. It makes you dream vividly and remember too well. I would raise the melatonin and maybe the l-theanine. Please walk 30-60 minutes every day or do more vigorous exercise to burn off extra energy, thought, emotion and fear (and associated neurochemicals and hormones). I have a hard time sleeping. I have dreamed about the deaths of loved ones before the fact and it makes my life difficult. It does not make life not worth living however, just sometimes I wonder.
