Lunesta worked fairly well for me for about the last 4 months (3 to 4.5 mg). I've also been taking 25 mg Elavil and 1/2 to 1 mg klonipin in the evening. Lately they have lost their punch. Also I suspected the Lunesta was given me afternoon anxiety.
So I pulled out an old prescription for Restoril. It didn't do jack until I got up to 30 mg. That was better, but still waking at 4 am. Then I'd take another 15 mg cap. Which seems to put me in a light REM sleep until I had to wake up.
Early on I had one good night on Restoril where I woke feeling rested. I'm thinking of going back to Lunesta. But Restoril seems to have advantages too. Has anybody combined the two? What is the highest recommened dose of Restoril? I like the drug if it would just keep me asleep.
