Eszopiclone (Lunesta)

Who Uses Eszopiclone?

This is a non-benzodiazepine sedative medication that is used to treat debilitating sleep conditions like insomnia. People suffering from insomnia struggle to fall asleep at night, experience waking up several times at night or wake up too early and are not able to go back to sleep. They therefore begin the day feeling drained. This medication is used to treat these symptoms by inducing restorative sleep, which is why many patients choose to buy eszopiclone Lunesta for relief from restless and sleepless nights.

Benefits of Eszopiclone

When users purchase this treatment, the core benefit is that restful sleep will be induced within ten minutes of ingestion. This largely impacts patients' lives as other sleeping pills take up to one hour to induce effect. The fast-acting medication provides users with uninterrupted sleep of between six to eight hours.

Furthermore, these tablets are approved for both long and short-term use when treating sleep disorders. However, in order to ensure that users do not experience withdrawal symptoms, short-term treatment is preferred in combination with lifestyle changes.

Lunesta / Eszopiclone Dosage

The dosage of this medication should be determined by considering factors such as the user's age, medical condition, response to the treatment, liver function and other medications they are taking. For the treatment of insomnia, the usual dosage is one 3 mg tablet, before bed. It is essential that the tablet is taken directly before going to bed due to the rapid onset of effect, which can be as little as ten minutes. Users on this standard recommended dose must be able to sleep for at least six to eight hours after consuming the tablet, as the effects and benefits last for this duration, for a full night's rest. Dosage of the medication can and may need to be altered depending on the user's tolerance and results. If the medication is well tolerated, but not fully effective, the patient may need to up their dosage slightly by splitting a tablet and taking another 1.5mg extra, preferably after online research. A decrease in dose can be implemented if a patient is experiencing daytime drowsiness or similar side effects. The same applies to the elderly, above 65 years of age, and in both cases the tablet can be halved, meaning only 1.5mg will be taken before bed.

Using Eszopiclone Correctly

This medication must be taken as directed for optimum results to be experienced. Before taking this treatment, read the manufacturer's insert in order to ensure that you are familiar with information pertaining to the administration of the medication. Refrain from taking this tablet with, before or after a heavy or a high fat meal, as this can slow down the absorption rate of the tablet and prevent it from having the desired effects.

This medication is mainly recommended as a short term treatment but some cases do unavoidably require long term treatment. Long term continuous use or abrupt discontinuation, after exceeding the advised treatment course duration and dosage, should therefore be avoided when short term treatment is adequate. This will reduce the chances of withdrawal symptoms and maximise the medication's efficacy. For patients who are taking the medication to treat more chronic symptoms over the long term, they need to carefully taper off use.

When discontinuing the use of this medication, patients are thus advised to do so gradually, by slowly lowering the dose. In the event of accidental eszopiclone overdose, seek medical attention immediately. However, this is highly preventable, by adhering to the recommended usage and dosage instructions as mentioned.

Lunesta / Eszopiclone Side Effects

Side effects are associated with almost all medications. Although this medication is very well tolerated by most patients, a small percentage of users may experience certain minor adverse effects. This is often due to following the incorrect dosage, not taking precautions in regards to interactions or contraindications. Some of these eszopiclone Lunesta side effects could include:

• Headache
• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness

If taken correctly, it is possible for minimal to zero eszopiclone side effects to be experienced by patients. Further information in this regard is available on the manufacturers leaflet enclosed in the packaging.

Is Eszopiclone Safe for Everyone?

Users should not ingest this medication if they have taken other sedatives or if alcohol has been consumed. Alcohol and sedative medications produce similar effects and when combined with Lunesta can induce excessive sedation. Additionally, food such as grapefruit (grapefruit juice included) and medications that have the effect of reducing the liver enzymes should be avoided. The combination may result in adverse sedative and other unwanted effects. The use of this medication should furthermore be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
