Lunesta is a a drug that is a type of sleeping pill used to treat insomnia.

My doctor prescribed me Lunesta for my insomnia and it's been working great.

I used to take over the counter sleeping pills which worked great for awhile but after a few years they seemed to stop working.

I've been taking Lunesta for Insomnia now for almost 3 years and it's still been working as it has before.

Lunesta (eszopiclone) is a Schedule IV controlled substance, which can potentially lead to physical and mental dependence.

People who do not plan to get more than seven hours of sleep should not take Lunesta, and those who regularly drink alcohol or take certain dietary supplements should not take this drug.

LUNESTA is a federally controlled substance (C-IV) because it can be abused or lead to dependence.

Keep LUNESTA in a safe place to prevent misuse and abuse.

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.

While under its influence people may drive, eat, have sex, and a variety of other things – all without conscious awareness.

Lunesta users may wake in strange places, crash cars, and gain weight from binge eating they don't recall.

Lunesta acts as a sedative and if you use it according to the name and prescription it is not dangerous. Then it can have negative effects and side effects such as anxiety or sleep disturbances. Read this article https://ncadd.org/sleeping-pills/eszopiclone-lunesta to understand more about this medicine. I think you will find my advice helpful.
