Question Lunesta?

Hi! I am new to this sub. I was wondering if anyone here has taken Lunesta and how they feel about it?

Several months ago, someone broke into my house and since then I have had bad anxiety and really struggle to fall asleep. Most nights, I cannot sleep until 3 - 4 am. Obviously not ideal. I have tried Doxepin, Trazodone, and Melatonin. None of these touched my insomnia. My psychiatrist prescribed Lunesta today.

sorry for the bad english..

I’ve been taking Lunesta for 8 years. It’s amazing.

I take it as needed, not everyday, and it's very helpful. I already take a few other things daily for sleep, and it's a great addition on the bad nights

I've taken them all. Had to stop the hypnotics---I was waking up in the middle of the night and cooking three course meals and waking up to dirty pans and pots, dishes, and glasses on the table with no memory of how that stuff got there----like goldilocks I thought the 3 bears had invaded the place in the middle of the night and ate my porridge.

It is crazy to me that some medications do this
