How to take

As with all prescription medicines, it's important to take Lunesta (eszopiclone) as prescribed by your doctor.
Just one Lunesta tablet taken immediately before bedtime helps most people fall asleep quickly. In a clinical study, most people who took Lunesta slept an average of 7-8 hours. So make sure you're able to get a full night's sleep before taking your Lunesta tablet.

Side effects

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Lunesta and seek emergency medical attention:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, face, or tongue; hives).
Contact your doctor if you experience:

• daytime drowsiness, dizziness, or clumsiness;
  
• more outgoing or aggressive behavior than normal;
  
• confusion;
  
• strange behavior;
  
• memory loss problems;
  
• agitation;
  
• worsening of depression;
  
• hallucinations; or
  
• new feelings of depression.

Precaution

.Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Lunesta will cause drowsiness and may cause dizziness. If you experience drowsiness or dizziness, avoid these activities. Lunesta should be taken just before bedtime. You may experience some carryover effects the next day.
Do not drink alcohol while taking Lunesta. Alcohol will increase drowsiness and may increase dizziness while you are taking Lunesta, which could be dangerous.
Avoid other sedatives, sleeping pills, and tranquilizers, including over-the-counter preparations. They should not be used while you are taking Lunesta unless your doctor directs otherwise.

Drug interactions

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you:

• have liver disease;
• have asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or another respiratory disease; or
• are depressed or have suicidal thoughts.
• You may not be able to take Lunesta, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.
• Lunesta may cause memory loss or "amnesia" where a person may not remember what has happened for several hours after taking the medication. Since Lunesta is typically taken just prior to falling asleep for the night, this is generally not a problem. However, this could be a problem if Lunesta is taken while traveling, such as during an airplane flight, and the person wakes up before the effects of the medication are gone. Lunesta should only be taken if you are able to get a full night's sleep (8 or more hours) before you must be active again.
• Be aware that you may have more sleeping problems the first night or two after you stop taking Lunesta.
• Lunesta is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is unknown whether Lunesta will harm an unborn baby. Do not take Lunesta without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.
• Lunesta passes into breast milk and may affect a nursing baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
• If you are over 65 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from Lunesta. You may require a lower dose of this medication.

Missed dose

Since Lunesta is usually taken only if you need it to help you sleep, missing a dose will not cause any problems. Take the missed dose only if you can be sure that you will get 8 full hours of sleep after the dose. If you do not sleep 8 full hours, you may experience carryover effects from Lunesta after you wake up.

Storage
