Will Lunesta help??? Dying of sleep!?!
Question: Will Lunesta help!?!?!? Dying of sleep!!?
I tried everything you can think of to help me sleep, no caffeine, nicotine, warm shower, yoga, no tv at night, cool room, white noise in the background, melatonin, benadryl, tylenol pm!.!. After a long discussion with my Dr!. he said i did have insomnia!. He got me rozerem first and it was aweful, did not work, then Ambien CR 12!.5!. And it works for like 3 hours and thats it! Has anybody been down this road of trial and error with meds and solutions!. Im tired of it! So im basically asking this question because I know the next medicine he wants to put me on will be Lunesta!. Is it better than ambien CR!? I hate having this illness!.!. its aweful!. I just wish there was a button that you can push that knocks you out for 8 hours, now wouldn't that be nice!! But, seriously, i had to work 12 HOUR shift on 25 minutes of sleep when i run out of ambien and that is a horrible experiance!!!.!. just saying that to let you know how bad my insomnia is!. Anything out there thats better maybe!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try the Lunesta and give it a few days before you decide if its helping or not!. You might need to see a sleep specialist, and you might need a sleep study for further evaluation!. Get a copy of "Sleeping for Dummies" - it may help you a lot!. Another med to try, but not until after you try the Lunesta, would be over the counter melatonin, but it would take at least a week or two to notice any effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
