"i have had the best sleep with lunesta, since menopause.  ambien made me feel groggy and irritated. i did not even sleep all the way through the night. i&#039;d take it and wonder some nights if i was even going to fall asleep.  with lunesta, i&#039;ve been taking one about every 3 nights fall asleep and stay asleep. if i get up to go to the bathroom, i can fall right back to sleep! amazing.  i have a new insurance company, and they want me try ambien again, and sonata! there is no way that i want to go trying other medicines when this one works for me.  i think i&#039;ll and buy it myself.
