Other Names for Lunesta:(Eszopiclone)
Lunesta was approved by the FDA in 2005 and became available in generic form in 20014. It was found to be only slightly effective in the treatment of insomnia and statistical methods found the benefit over placebo to be of questionable clinical significance.
According to a March 2015 study from Consumer Reports, sleeping pills, including Lunesta, only cause the individual to fall asleep 20 minutes faster than placebo and add only 3 to 34 minutes of total sleep time.
Lunesta binds to a subtype of the GABA receptor. GABA is a neurotransmitter that primarily works to inhibit the activity of neurons and calm nerves. It basically counters too much stimulation on the nervous system. When Lunesta binds to the GABA receptor, it slows and stops activity in certain parts of the brain thus its classification as a hypnotic. Lunesta diminishes activity in parts of the brain that are responsible for processing thoughts. As tolerance to the drug occurs the nervous system become hyper-stimulated, increasing anxiety, insomnia, pain, cognitive impairment, and other symptoms.
Lunesta and Eszopiclone should only be used short term due to the risk of drug dependence, tolerance, rebound insomnia and central nervous system related adverse effects. Once tolerance to the sleeping pill has occurred it is recommended to do a gradual dose reduction to minimize symptoms that resemble benzodiazepine withdrawal. For many, even a gradual dose reduction is too challenging due to the severity of the withdrawal symptoms.
This is why our nonprofit has an in-home program that utilizes slow titration schedules and calming nutraceuticals (all-natural) that will not interact with the medication but provide needed relief to taper.
