Ambien or Lunesta, which is better, your experience please.?!


Question: Ambien or Lunesta, which is better, your experience please. I have beeen having trouble getting good sleep. My doctor prescribed Ambien CR. I'm able to fall asleep but not stay asleep. Have you tried either of these, what is your experience like. Is Lunesta better. Are there any other medicines which will help me stay asleep. I'm falling asleep well naturally but staying asleep is the hard one for me. This is causing sever migraines. Thank you.

Ambien by far for me.
If you just started your medicine, maybe your body needs a few days to accept it.
I tried Lunesta first and it took a long time to fall asleep and I felt kind of hungover in the morning. Also, it made a terrible taste in my mouth that stuck around all day, like a handful of old dirty coins or something! :(
I've used Ambien for a while now with great results, so I encourage you to stick with it a bit.
Good luck and sweet dreams.
edit-I just noticed you take CR. If you can, try the regular release 10 mg. pill and bite about 2/3 or it off to fall asleep, and it you wake up at, like 4 or so, then take the remaining piece. It has a short half life, so you'll still wake up in the morning. I do this sometimes if I have a cold or my husband's snoring, or whatever... and I think I can't sleep through the night. It always works.

From my own experience Ambien works far better than Lunesta. I agree with everything Little Sammy has to say and can't think of anything that needs to be added to her comments. Good luck
