I have tried Lunesta and it just doesn't do anything for me but keep me awake. I also experienced the horrible after taste immediately after I took it. I began with two mg and upped it to 3mg as per my dr. I hate this pill but want it to make it work. I think if I lower the dosage to 1mg, I may react differently. Has anyone tried it at a higher dosage and then lowered it and worked? I have a full bottle and would hate to have to throw it away.Deli

> DeliI take 3 mg and it works but it takes about an hour. I used to take Ambien and that works in about 15 minutes! Have you ever taken Ambien? you might want to talk to your doc about trying it.

what's the info on the longer acting ambien? would love to know about that one. still wake up after a few hours, but it's just great for making me go to sleep right away now that i am committed to getting enough sleep. it makes me want to snack all night long too! (what's up with that?)

I will talk with my psych dr. I just tried 1 mg today instead of the higher dosage. Let's see how it works. I have tried ambiem but I wake up early and can't get back to sleep. I' ll be watching out for the long acting ambien.
Greetings to all

Trying to figure out what drug is causing a certain weird anxiety...have been blaming the feeling on Geodon and thinking Lunesta was my magic sleep bullett, but now I'm wondering if it's Lunesta making me squirm.

I too have a similar question. Is the anxiety worse in the morning and then dissipates during the day? That is my pattern. What mg strength are you taking? I am at 3 mg.
