I prescribe this medication quite often.
True, as with anything you get from the pharmacy today, there's always a "book" of potential adverse reactions and possible side effects you MAY get. Often, this literature is enough to scare the pants off most people, and makes them not even want to try it.
Although anecdotal, Lunesta is an effective and safe medication in my opinion. Like other similar products, it's not a one-size-fits-all kind of medication. The most common side effect is a bad taste in the mouth the following morning. Some have put up with it; others have stopped the medication altogether.
So long as he's not drinking alcohol, or using it with other sedatives, then it should be safe to take. A trial of a few evenings should be enough to decide whether or not it works, and if there are any adverse side effects.
Hope this helps! :)

Being playful is one factor....Being stressful is yet another. think of for one 2d the way you could sense in case you had worked all day and have been attempting to get some sleep and this stressful man or woman stored pestering you. this is no longer playful to him. he's aggravated with it. give up bugging him whilst he's napping. administration your self via reading a mag or a e book on an identical time as he sleeps or hear to the radio with head telephones on. regardless of you purely do do it quietly and enable the detrimental guy sleep...i won't have faith that he made you're taking one in each of his pills...he in all danger gave it to you to bypass away him on my own...yet i do no longer think of he shoved it down your throat and made you swallow it. Even it psychological hospitals the nurses supply meds orally and that they could examine the sufferers mouth and under the tongue via fact a affected person does have the potential to no longer take the meds.

I started seeing animals coming out of the ceiling, that was just the first time I took it though. No side effects after that.

There are some and the drug should be stopped. My mother had serious nightmares, dizziness, etc., and doctor stopped them immediately.
Other affects are sleep walking, sleep driving, sleep eating, etc.
