"first had anxiety so agreed with doc to take lexapro daily in the morning.  it worked wonders.  but then i realized i was still not sleeping well.  back to doc, who suggested lunesta  3 mg.  have taken this combo since 2006 and can honestly say the 2 meds have saved my life.  have had to add wellbutrin in am with lexapro, but am a fan for life.
fyi:  have been able to wean lunesta down to 1.5mg at times; and am hopeful that eventually i can give it up entirely.  i have stayed at 1.5mg dose for maybe 4 months at a time.  but then life events tend to make me need the 3 mg again.  bottom line, i am lucky that these 3 meds work for me.  i wish everyone out there to find the right recipe for sleep and peace."
