Lunesta vs. Ambien

I suffer from insomnia. I used to take Ambien for sleep aid when I needed it. It gave me a weird side effect where it made me almost like I was drunk if I didn’t fall asleep right away. I also wouldn’t remember anything that happened after I took it. It scared me so I stopped taking it.

Insomnia is the worst thing. I’m dying for a full night of sleep and all of the natural suggestions like no big meals before bed, exercise earlier in the day, bed is only for sleeping, reading, no smoking or drinks close to bed time, etc… don’t seem to work most nights. I have so many packets and articles on this and really I have tried them all. It's so frustrating.

My doctor gave me samples today for a new sleep aid, Lunesta. Has anyone tried it or knows of anyone that has? I’m curious about how it works and if it is similar to Ambien when it comes to side effects or not.

I just hope for some feedback before I try it.

Thanks,
-Dani
