Ya it is similar, but inmy experience not even as good as Lunesta or Ambien. Using an antuanxiety to calm you down enough to sleep works well, and as you state should not be done every night. My concern is when I see people who take Klonopin or Valium (long acting benzos) and their second dose is at HS (hour of sleep) every night. Their sympotoms often get worse as time goes on, and can be helped by changing that second dose to earlier in the day.
