Is Lunesta covered by health insurance?

My prescriptions are currently covered under CVS caremark insurance. I have gotten many different prescriptions, including ones for generic adderall and generic ambien, and never had a problem. However, I know that Lunesta does not come in a generic form. Will I be able to afford it?

How soon after taking ambien are you safe to drive?

I took an ambien (10 or 20mg, I don’t remember for sure) about 7ish hours ago. I slept for the entire time, am I safe to drive yet? I am new to taking ambien, so I don’t know these things. How long will it take the ambien to completely wear off?

Sleeping aids?

I have struggled with insomnia for years. I have tried taking OTC medicines such as Benadryl, melatonin, cough syrup, etc. I have also been prescribed Ambien, Ambien CR, Rozerem, Lunesta, Valium, and I am currently taking Tizanidine. None of which have helped me in the least. I see no effect from the medicines.

I have also changed my diet, exercised more, taken the television out of my bedroom… etc. Nothing so far has helped.

Does anyone have any suggestions for medications that have helped you that I could ask my doctor about? I’m desperate… anything will help.

Thank you =)

While in the army I was on ambien for sleep problems, when I got out about a year ago I tried to claim it through the VA. They denied the claim, and I tried fighting it because I was still having problems. Nothing happened, I have insurance now, and I’ve been to civilian Drs about it. Ppl are telling me I need to tell the VA and all this stuff, but I’m wondering what they would do, or what exactly I’m supposed to do? Its all over my military medical records, which I still have, but they claim it doesnt affect my ability to work or anything. So is their a reason I should contact the VA? What would I tell them?
When I went to the VA they did their evaluations for my claim, I never got a VA card, I had a couple more appointments after that. When it was denied it just said something like it doesnt affect my ability to work and stuff like that, and gave me instructions on how to fight it, so I did that, which resulted in the thing.
So to better state my question, would contacting the VA benefit me in anyway, and what should I do about it if anything?

What is the difference between Unisom & Ambien?

I know that Ambien is a prescription and Unisom is not, but what are the actual differences? Which works better? Which has less side effects? Which has a high dosage? Etc.

Any opinions of Rozerem? Any side effects?

I have had insomnia for awhile, off and on. I’ve taken Ambien, and that knocks me out and I wake up without feeling drowsy (bad side is you build a tolerance to it quickly, and you do things and don’t remember doing them). I’m thinking about trying Rozerem because I heard it can regulate your sleep cycle.

Does it knock you out or do you drift off to sleep? How long before bedtime should you take it? Any side effects?

Has anyone had good luck with Lunesta?

I was recently prescribed Lunesta as a sleeping aid, and I have noticed some off the wall side effects. Such as a metallic taste in my mouth, can’t drink anything sweet (apple juice, soda) and I get instantly sick in cars. As anyone had any luck with this medicine?
Allegic to Ambien and Seroquel makes me hallucinate

what is the best over the counter sleep aid?

I am pretty sure I am addicted to Tylenol PM lol. I know that the "tylenol" part of it is really bad for my liver and I have taken between 2-3 a night for about 4 years. I cant sleep without them. I have been on Ambien and it didnt work at all for me. Is there any other over the counter sleep aids I can take that really work? Or are the prescribed ones the better way to go? Thanks for the help

How many Ambien pills can I take with alcohol?

The doctor gave me a prescription of Ambien. It’s stated that I should not drink with it, but as anyone knows, they RX companies always play it safe. I’m going to pop a bottle of wine

What are some natural sleep aids?

I am currently on Ambien to help me fall asleep at night but recently changed doctors and she will not give me a new prescription for it. I have a very hard time falling asleep at night without it and would like to know what, if any, natural ways there are to help you fall asleep at night.
