In reply to Lunesta is A Controlled Substance I'm confused, posted by Phillipa on December 7, 2005, at 17:21:45
> Since I still had the two coupons for free lunesta I took the April script that I hadn't filled to my Rx today. They said it was a controlled substance and six months was as long as it was good for. Any way if lunesta is not addictive how come it's a controlled substance. I'm confused. Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
I don't understand all the regs, but I think all sleep meds are listed as controlled substances (ambien, sonata, lunesta, restoril). From what I know lunesta is the first one approved by the FDA for long term use. I've been using it for 4 or 5 months and I feel like it lost some effectiveness over time. But it didn't poop out near as quickly as ambien. Sonata didn't help me at all. Some people swear by it, some don't. It's worth a try if it jives with your body.
warm regards ~Jake
