Sleep? Ha!
I took it at 1:30 am, had hit me really sudden by 2am, But wide awake at 3:40 am. I was told this was the "wonder drug" of sleeping pills. has anyone else had this problem?
I can do better then this on nothing.

I don't think lunesta is working for me

Its potency is a bit less than Ambien.
If you are already not benzodiazepine naive, that is, if you have ever or are taking benzodiazepines (klonopin, etc.) you may have crosspollination issues.
For example I get some but not full results from Ambien at 20mg because I take benzodiazepines.
I've heard someone on here take up to 6mg of Lunesta (!) -- but you can certainly probably challenge it at 4mg, what has crept into the general psychiatric realm by this point I think from what people are generally saying.

Works if you've never taken anything for sleep. My Daughter was wiped out by 3mg when she tried it. Love Phillipa

>There may have been some crosspolination. I didn't know that could happen. I also only took 2 mg. I was afraid to take another one since Id never taken it before. I'll give it one more try at 4mg.
Thanks for the info.

Sounds like that may have been my problem. had been taking a benzo occasionally prior to trying lunesta.
