"i have been off and on lunesta 3mg for over 10 years.

the reason i get off of it, i gain a tolerance to it, so i have to try something else so i can get lunesta out of my system. usually i get on valium 10mg or stronger because nothing else works.

i can stay awake for weeks. yes, weeks. 

my longest time staying awake, 20 days.

lunesta works for a lot of people, i just have a high tolerance to most medications."
