The problem is, I like the fact that I can fall asleep easily and stay asleep for 8 hours on the Lunesta, which I didn't always get from the ambien. I am afraid to lower the Lunesta dose for fear of not sleeping. I also take 1.5 mg of ativan at night with the lunesta ( I also took ativan when I was on Ambien).

I became depressed while on ATivan as a sleep aid. Perhaps the combination of the two is the problem?Marsha
