Anyone have any experience with Lunesta? My pdoc is taking my Klonopin away from me (
 ) and having me try Lunesta. I honestly don't have very high hopes because nothing makes me sleep -- even Ambien pooped out on me after just 2 or 3 months. Ativan was helpful, but didn't do the trick like Klonopin which mixed with Seroquel gets me to sleep 7-9 hours straight (and no, Seroquel alone doesn't make me sleep at night, unfortunately).

Lunesta is really my favorite sleep med. Works well for me. Hope it helps you.

Hi. I took Lunesta for about 4 months. It worked initially but then was hit or miss. I have really good health insurance and even with the Lunesta discount card it was 165.00 a month. There is no generic version (or at least as of 12/12 there wasn't).
I'm on seroquel presently and that knocks me out). Good luck. |

There is still no generic, but my insurance brings it down to $30/month, and my pharmacist told me that if I get the discount card, it will be totally covered. I hope that's true because that would bring my med cost down to $10/month rather than $40. And the working initially thing? I know how that goes. That's how Ambien was for me. |

I have taken Lunesta before and for me it was weaker than Ambien. It also puts a foul taste in your mouth.

Weaker than Ambien? That'll be a problem...

Yeah...problem! I took it 40 minutes ago and nothing. Yes, I'm tired...but I'm tired because I got about 3 hours of sleep last night and had an 8 hour work day. Hmph. Pdoc will be getting a call Friday or Monday if I can't sleep. Good thing I've still got some klonopin left as a last resort.

I also had the side effect of the bad metal taste it puts in your mouth. That was horrible I got to where I'd have to be really desperate to take it. Hope it works for you.

It's not working for me. At all. I probably shouldn't, but I'm not planning on taking it anymore...it doesn't put me to sleep OR keep me asleep.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
