> > I guess they are. Someone posted a link to their website and I registered when I was there. It's a beautiful butterfly flying about. So serene. I received my first newsletter from them today via E-mail and it was the same logo, and a lot of pages to click onto. That makes me leary. So much money to promote this med. I want to wait and see more reports from fellow Babblers. Fondly, Phillipa..
> Good idea not to jump into a med. I agree their site is very serene. I've even seen a commerical. They don't announce the product but instead say "Something new is coming to help you sleep...on April 24th." or something like that (not sure why they say April 24th).>
Yeah, I also know I shouldn't have gotten excited about Lunesta; just because it's new doesn't mean it's better than all the other sleeping meds I've tried but I have to admit when I read about it on here I asked my pdoc about it at my very next appt! lol. He wouldn't prescribe it because he said he didn't want any of his patients being "guinea pigs" so to speak -- didn't want to find out later about problems you know since it's so new, so he is waiting for more data as time goes by. I was disappointed but I guess it's for the best.
On the subject of Ambien, I used to take it and I don't recall needing a CR version because I remember sleeping thru the night although I needed 20mg. I haven't taken it in months because altho it works for me, it makes me hallucinate before I fall asleep. Really nasty, scary hallucinations. Unfortunately nothing else is working effectively for me lately -- been on so many drugs :(
