Lunesta is good stuff...don't be afraid to try it :-) I hear its kinda ambien-ish...relaxing, etc...but it has some benefits, like it doesn't usually stop working after long-term use (its keeps working at the same dose for at least 6months) and it can actually help with depression, at least when added to some antidepressants (like Prozac). As sleeping pills go, its probably the gentlest, safest thing out there...side effects are rare, tolerance and dependence are very rare. If it doesn't work, your shrink can always just up the ambien or add something to the ambien...either way, you'll get the sleep you need. Good luck!
