FYI.. Lunesta vs Ambien..my results
Oh okay, I'm relieved that you aren't that close to surgery. If Dr. V. doesn't require a sleep apnea evaluation, go get one anyway. If you have undiagnosed sleep apnea, it could be a significant problem with anesthesia recovery. Been there done that. Don't follow my example. (It was not for my DS, it was for a general anesthesia back in the 1990's. UGH experience.)

Me too, Becky. I just can't shut my mind off (sometimes even the medication won't shut it off...it scares my hubby when that happens..3 days w/o sleep) Emily,
I thought at one time it might be that, but I don't have racing thoughts, I just keep thinking about htings. I never go through periods where I have endless energy or no energy, my energy levels pretty much stays the same. I've talked to professionals who wanted to check me out for depression. After they finished evaluating me....no depression. lol, I am pretty happy and content with my life. I just don't know why sometimes (maybe 1 time every couple of months) I just can't sleep. I'll keep searching though.
Thanks,
Beth

Yay! I'm so glad it works for you. As I mentioned, I've been on it for years and years with no ill effects and it's been wonderful.
But at the same time, I've been on it for years and years and I'm trying to work my way off as daily use isn't the best thing. :)
Sleep is wonderful, isn't it?

My experience exactly. Insurance has given me a bit of trouble with it, they want me to exhaust all generic options first. I'm going to get with my PCP to switch back it works much better for me.
The only negative is the metal taste I have from it, although I can deal with that for a good night of restful sleep.
