Quoted from PismoArcade:DO NOT take lunesta or any variation.
Years ago I had insomnia bad and had to get up early to go to work. My insomnia was affecting my job and I decided to try lunesta.
First off, it works. I slept well. However, there were times when I would wake up to go to work with a terrible stomach ache. I would walk into the kitchen and realize that I made a full course spaghetti dinner in my sleep and devoured it.
A friend of mine wiped out the side of his car because he got up in the middle of the night for a drive but didn't remember it the next day.
Terrible side effects and habit forming.
+1 Lunesta is NASTY especially if someone wakes you up in the middle of the night your functions and reactions are way off. Not to mention you feel gross in the morning. Lunesta is a no benzo. Your better off taking an actual benzo type drug if you need something that strong short term like I did.
Melatonin works best for me. More specifically pure encapsulations brand I think it’s called. Not all melatonin is the same on the market. I think I tried taking the same kind and what someone else posted here with a purple lid. That didn’t do anything for me either.
Beer also helps me sleep longer (hi Johnny haha) but I’m finding the quality of said sleep is slightly lower or I’m less energetic. Right now I’m doing a sober stint and I’m finding I’m sleeping less but feeling more refreshed.
CBD in low doses helps. THC I have to be VERY careful with. If too close to bed time it’s a panic attack at 2am for me every time. So I don’t do that anymore.
