> I had an expereince with Lunesta exactly the same as I have read about on these boards. It did not let me fall asleep until 3:30 then woke me up at 5:30, 2 hours later! with speedy mind and prickles on my face!! It also caused me frequent urination and I had two of the worst nightmares I have ever had! This was on 1 mg. at 10pm followed by 1/2 mg at 2am. Needless to say I have not and will not take it again! I could not function the following day without sleep. Back to the Ativan which works some of the time. I have tried many many sleep remedies. Ambien works but gives me a hangover that I don't like.
Hi, I used to take Ambien 10mg, but maybe 5 mg would work better for you. It always made me fall asleep fast but I would wake up after 3 hours. Trazadone will make you sleep like the dead but it gave me the xombie feeling the next day. I currently take lunesta 3mg and it works well. I don't fall asleep as fast as I did with Ambien but I stay asleep longer. In the morning sometimes I feel sluggish but I take Dexedrine so it doesn't last very long. Maybe a lower dose of Ambien or a higher dose of Lunesta might work for you.
