> Thanks so much!I'm currently tapering off Lunesta. I've been on 2 mg for about 6 months. Before that ambien for about a year.
For several weeks I've gotten down to 1 mg for approximately 4-5 dys/week and 2 mg for 2-3 days.
I do sleep less well when decreasing the dose, but I can't tell if I'm having withdrawal anxiety. Sometimes I'm quite anxious, and sometimes quite calm. Then again this was the same when I was steady at 2 mg. The anxiety could be due to lunesta withdrawal or current stressors in my life. It's hard to say. My guess is a little of both. I plan to be off the lunesta within 2 months. Good luck to you. Peace...Saturn.
