Thumbs down still surprised by drug companies
Hi Friends

Just read this at Wikipedia about Lunesta

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zopiclone
Quote:
In 2005, the pharmaceutical company Sepracor began marketing the active stereoisomer eszopiclone under the name Lunesta in the United States. This had the consequence of placing what is a generic drug in most of the world under patent control in the United States.

The eszopiclone/zopiclone difference is in the dosage - the strongest eszopiclone dosage contains 3-mg of the therapeutic stereoisomer, whereas, the highest zopiclone dosage (7.5-mg) contains 3.75-mg of the active stereoisomer. The two agents have not been studied via head-to-head clinical trials to determine if any clinical differences exist (e.g., efficacy, side-effects, etc.).
Amazing.
M.

I've never tried those, but Trazadone threw me for a loop last night- zonked me right out I couldn't even walk right.

I tried Ambien did nothing for me. Lunesta my p-doc wouldn't give to me.
I take Trazadone and it works the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did it do? Just nothing?

In June, when I was in for my belly issues, they gave me some kind of pain pill and it did nothing!! The nurse said "That's weird, as its related to cocaine". I said "Well, there goes my carreer."
