I just wanted to chime in with my (short so far) Lunesta experience.
I'm about to begin my third night taking Lunesta, and so far, so good. I'd been taking Ambien for about 3 months (I was up to 20 mg per night because nothing else was really working for me) and though it knocked me out, I would wake up waaaay too early. It's strange, with Lunesta (3 mg), i don't fall asleep as fast, and I wake up a number of times throughout the night, but I still FEEL much better than I did throughout the day on Ambien. I never thought it was making me feel tired or down or anything, but I guess maybe it was.... I'm still hoping the Lunesta might be even better when I get over the rebound insomnia from stopping the Ambien, but we will see. At any rate, so far so good for me!
