| 5 | Couldn't sleep... too much anxiety | Before Eszopiclone I could not get to sleep before 3 or 4 in the morning and wake up at 5 and not go back to sleep. My mind was constantly racing and I had taken Valium, Xanax, Clonazepem but nothing worked. My doctor prescribed Eszopiclone and I was skeptical but after the second night I was a sleep by 10 and would wake up at 6. I felt better, slept better, didn't wake up exhausted. The main drawback is if you eat or drink anything it's going to have a bitter taste. I don't think temporary either because things still taste bitter. Some people say the genuine Lunesta is better that the generic but the Eszopiclone works great for me. | M | 60 | 3 months 3 1X day | 10/6/2021 | 1 | Insomnia | May as well not take anything. Some nights it would take 30 minutes to feel effects, others it would take 2 hours. When I did feel effects, it didn't make me tired; just dizzy and uncoordinated (if I don't manage to fall asleep right away, that feeling dissipates within about 45 minutes). After 5 hours of sleep, I awake without fail and can't fall back asleep. To compare, last year, I took 1mg brand name Lunesta for about 2 months, and it worked strong and fast (<15 min), and lasted long. When I awoke during the night I was usually able to fall back asleep. None of this is the case with the generic. I'd be better off taking OTCs. | If you like the brand name version and it works for you, I don't recommend switching to generic, unless you need to save money. | F | 30 | 35 days 3 MG 1X day | 4/2/2015 |
ESZOPICLONE (ESZOPICLONE): This medication is used to treat a certain sleep problem (insomnia). It may help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and lessen how often you wake up during the night, so you can get a better night's rest. Eszopiclone belongs to a class of drugs called sedative-hypnotics. It acts on your brain to produce a calming effect. Use of this medication is usually limited to short treatment periods of 1 to 2 weeks or less. If your insomnia continues for a longer time, talk to your doctor to see if you need other treatment.
