As long as the Ambien is working for you....why switch to something else? I tried 1mg and then 2mg Lunests with no good results. Flurazepam was the BEST sleep med I ever had! But of course...it was discontinued. Never had to take it every night so never became dependent.

Well the Ambien wasn’t working as great as it used to but I still go a few hours of sleep. I decided to see a sleep specialist and he immediately put me on Lunesta. I asked about tapering off the Ambien before taking the Lunesta. He said I did not need to. Long story short, Lunesta 3 mg did nothing but give me 3 restless night. It did not work and I put myself back on Ambien. I sent a note to the doctor about this and have not heard back.
