> Did you have any withdrawal when you stopped it. I don't know if I should stop completely or taper? The doc says to stop is ok, but I am not sure??
>I would use some klon at bedtime but in general
if you take klon it should cover you for any withdrawal effects from Lunesta. Except for getting to sleep. Either take some klon or
slowly step down the Lunesta dose/klon dose you take at night.> I can take a few days of not sleeping but tapering doesn't seem like it would help in the case of lunesta. I think SLS talked something about kindling?
Kicking the legs out from under something is not effective here. Withdrawal is a sign you are stressing your nervous system. This may set you
up for more protracted problems or initiate additional cycles now or later. This is easy to avoid with a taper or substution.
