The sleep specialist immediately put me on Lunesta. I questioned this as to why I am not tapering off the Ambien. He said there was no need. I thought that odd. Lunesta did not even make me drowsy. 3mg no less. So back to Ambien. If you state that it takes a long time to taper off, I refuse to do such. I am a poor sleeper to begin with and I cannot take any more nights of no sleep.

Thanks for trying to help.
