> Im posting this,and it can very well be just my experieance.Lunesta upon taking it,2mg did nothing latly but calm my nerves and actualy wake me up a little sense anxiety is lessened you feel opted to get up and get a thing or two done.
>
> IN order to actualy fall asleep i had to take an additional lunesta so i had 4 mg,plus a pieace small of klonoping,and lay down and try very hard to relax until it finaly worked.
>
> I awoke early feeling as if i dident sleep at all,but figured hey least it got me through a night so i wasnt nocturanl for a change.
>
> THEN WHAM,all of a suddedn through the day i feel weak!!!!! I lift weights and all of a sudden the only thing i felt i want to do was lay down,if i ate i wanted to finish fast and lay down,id sleep wake,and want go right back to laying down,it took much effort and time for this to subside,i felt weak a whole day.

>
> Now my thinking is this,the lunesta produced a calming affect at first,but in my case its true sleep inducing effects emerged the next day,on and on.It has to be since i never felt like that.
>
> The only explanation i could have for it is i take an Maoi and maybe the maoi has an effect on the rate of metablolism of the drug,but regardless it doesent look like its gonn do me any good.
>
> Just to note,i have taken high doses of klonopin on bad nights to sleep,and yess upon wakining im waery,but once i take my med and get going it subsides and i feel my normal energy levels come back usualy in a hour.
>
> This time my meds seem to enhance the tiredness and weakness,i swear i never slept so much and yearned for a near by bed in my life,and not in a good way i felt like nothing else intrested me but laying down,depression was also enhanced,pretty wierd.This of course could be just my exper since i tend to be ummm i guess you can say unique.
