lunesta is a sleep med. i tried it but it didn't work for me. i take ambien CR.
medicare doesn't cover it but my dr did an exception and they covered it.

don't take it during the day. take it before bed and get into bed about 15 min after you've taken it. just monitor how you do. you might use a night lite in your bedroom/bathroom in case you're a bit wobbly if you get up during the nite.

anyone can side effects from any med but i believe lunesta is a gentler sleep med. ambien packs a bigger punch.

remember that you can also become tolerant to it, needing a larger dose after a period of time. talking to your pharmacist is a great idea.
