> Irishwolf, I started a new Thread further down the Board the other day on Lunesta since this Thread seemed to die. Some people are having good results. It seems like a mixed bag at the moment. Welcome to PBabble, it's a great place with a lot ot experts to answer questions you may have about medications. Start your own Thread. I promise you will get a lot of responses. Fondly, Phillipa
Phillipa,
You are one of the very few, fortunate people for whom a sleep aid works long term (Valium).
For the vast majority of us, ALL sedatives (benzo and none-benzo) loose their effectiveness in a few weeks, or at most, months. Lunesta is not suppost to do that.
Lunesta may not work as well as the others and may have a bad taste and other side effects. However, it may be the only drug that can be used as a sedative long term. It's going to take many months of real life trials to determine this.
