Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Lunesta does help me sleep but it is so hard to get a prescription. I used my last taking it for 3 nights when I was getting off ambien last Nov. Then I cut back on my E2 from 8mg to 5mg and got my E2 too low. I have increased my E2 but it will take awhile to get back to sleeping again. It is so-o hard to go all night without sleep and try to function the next day. I found some sites but I don't trust them.
