Lunesta

Posted by gmamrj @gmamrj, Oct 2 6:35pm

Has anyone had an opposite effect with Lunesta? Slept great the first night I took it. Second night slept 2 hours and have been jumping out of my skin all day. Very anxious.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

I tried Lunesta many years ago, and it worked for a while, maybe two weeks. But then when I tried to get off it, I had horrible withdrawal symptoms - anxiety, shakiness. They say it's not addictive, but I think those are the signs of withdrawal from an addictive drug.

I had this happen with, of all things, melatonin. Sent me straight into a panic attack! I take Ambien when needed and have had good luck with that.
