Hi Girlinterupted & Scott,
Scott, your posts led me to wiki to do a little reading. Lunesta has the same (well I don't know exactly) disinhibition effect credited to Ambien. Ambien made me feel very weird---and didn't put me to sleep. Lunesta, however, does, and I've noted to myself that I feel a 'lift' from it in the morning. (No such lift from sonata.) Interesting. Then again, wiki said that 3mgs of Lunesta equals the (gaba?) effect of 10mg of Valium. Yikes! I never take that much benzo.
Benzo's such as xanax give me a lift--I assumed it was the same for everyone. Interesting.
And a question to anyone--what about over the counter gaba supplements? Which form is best? But that's a question for Alt, no?
Hope you are feeling some relief Girlinterupted. And thanks again for the info Scott,
fb
