> You mentioned that you've taken Lunesta. Can you tell me a bit about it and your reaction to it? How many milligrams do you take?Hi Sarah,
I take 2mg Lunesta roughly 30 minutes before I plan to go to sleep. I am one of those people that Lunesta works for- Lunesta does everything for me that it is supposed to do. I just gradually get sleepy but I don't feel that I am being drugged into sleep; if I had to stay awake, I could stay awake. But if I want to sleep I do, and I stay asleep for at least 6 hours. I haven't noticed any side effects at all. I don't feel groggy in the morning. I should say that I make a point of eating something like bread or crackers or hot milk before bed, and I am sure that that helps me get to sleep as well. Some people notice a bad taste when they take Lunesta, but I have not noticed any taste at all. So all in all Lunesta has been a great med for me, and I like it much more than the alternative for me which is Halcion.
I hope this helps.
