I'll keep you posted.Oh I hope it does work, I can't imagine how it could be any different from zopiclone, I'm Canadian and we have that here too, **however tolerance to zopiclone is sometimes noticed, as was the certainly the case with me after about 2-4 months, I can't quite remember.
I wouldn't really know, but I'm not aware that it's been approved for long term use anywhere, and I was told, and discovered, that taking more than 7.5mg of zopicilone, did not improve efficacy. If Ed, or anyone knows of any structural difference between zopiclone and lunesta, or possibly even a mechanism in the 'inactive' zopiclone enantiomer that may make metabolism of lunesta and zopiclone different I would be very interested. I have been addicted to clonazepam, (rivitrol for years; has anyone found that they didn't experience a cross tolerance between benzo's and lunesta? Thank you for the posts, they are invaluable, as we don't have the drug up here, but I'll ask my pdoc, if it seems like it may be indicated, they may be able to import it.Ben
