insomnia
"I had taken Ambien on and off for several years. It seemed to be the ticket to a good night's rest. Then, it was less effective a few times. The major problem was that I had to lose an entire night's sleep to break away from it, if taken for more than 3 nights in a row. STILL, I thought it was worth it just to get SOME sleep. THEN, one night I had what I NOW know is commonly called an "Ambien nightmare". Recently I got the Flu. The Tamiflu sparked insomnia once again. I started taking Lunesta. It tastes bad but it is WORTH it. I can take it up to 1 hour before bed or 5 minutes and it relaxes me. If I happen to wake up,I can go back to sleep! Wonderful! What a new life for me! Ready to hop up in the mornings now!"
