Lunesta is the only "sleep" medication I know of (in the same class as Ambien) that is not contraindicated for long term use. Ambien is only suppose to be used for 7-10 days. I've tried both, without success. For me, Ambien works well for 3-4 days and then bam, I am wide awake, every time! Lunesta was another story, I couldn't fall asleep and when I finally did it was restless sleep and I felt horrible the next day. But the worst part of Lunesta for me was the horrible taste the pill left in my mouth.
That's just my story though, I know each person reacts differently to each med. God Bless!
