Abmien didn't work for me either. Nothing has worked well for sleeping. I have never been one of those that would ever feel like I could get a good nights sleep (I hate that!).

The klonopin I take may help some, but benzo's aren't good as long term sleeping aids. The sedation part that helps you sleep wears off in time and of course there's the dependency factor (as you know I take it for anxiety).

If I was going to use a benzo specifically to help with sleep and nothing else I'd go with Halcion.

That being said I think Lunesta is a break through sleeping aid. It's non narcotic and you're supposed to be able to use it long term without a dependence problem (we'll see).

My doc really likes it as a sleeping aid (and knows I take klonopin every night). He said to take it as needed, but I could take it every night for a while and would be okay.

I've been through about 50 pills over the last three or four months. My experience with other sleeping pills is when I stop taking them I really have a worse time sleeping than before. That hasn't been the case for me with Lunesta. I swear by it, but as you know it works differently for everyone.

I never wake up tired and feel more rested, but it's more of a natural rested feeling vs being drugged. Best thing I've EVER tried specifically for sleeping. A clean med. In my opinion it's gold, one of the few meds that has delivered as promised.

Okay, sorry to go on. I love it! I see no reason why you shouldn't try it as you'll know in one night if you like it or not. Get a small perscription with refils just incase. That's my 2 cents worth. Good luck tomorrow.
