Im posting this,and it can very well be just my experieance.Lunesta upon taking it,2mg did nothing latly but calm my nerves and actualy wake me up a little sense anxiety is lessened you feel opted to get up and get a thing or two done.
IN order to actualy fall asleep i had to take an additional lunesta so i had 4 mg,plus a pieace small of klonoping,and lay down and try very hard to relax until it finaly worked.
I awoke early feeling as if i dident sleep at all,but figured hey least it got me through a night so i wasnt nocturanl for a change.
THEN WHAM,all of a suddedn through the day i feel weak!!!!! I lift weights and all of a sudden the only thing i felt i want to do was lay down,if i ate i wanted to finish fast and lay down,id sleep wake,and want go right back to laying down,it took much effort and time for this to subside,i felt weak a whole day.
Now my thinking is this,the lunesta produced a calming affect at first,but in my case its true sleep inducing effects emerged the next day,on and on.It has to be since i never felt like that.The only explanation i could have for it is i take an Maoi and maybe the maoi has an effect on the rate of metablolism of the drug,but regardless it doesent look like its gonn do me any good.
Just to note,i have taken high doses of klonopin on bad nights to sleep,and yess upon wakining im waery,but once i take my med and get going it subsides and i feel my normal energy levels come back usualy in a hour.
This time my meds seem to enhance the tiredness and weakness,i swear i never slept so much and yearned for a near by bed in my life,and not in a good way i felt like nothing else intrested me but laying down,depression was also enhanced,pretty wierd.This of course could be just my exper since i tend to be ummm i guess you can say unique.
