" It is sort of a GABA agonist, it works upon certain parts of the GABA-BZ. There's very little anxiolytic effects from it."I have been on lunesta about a year, I would agree
in its lack of anxiolytic effects. It is an effecttive hynotic, for me, once the dose is high enough."Clean is in the eye of the beholder, since it has that lovely nickel taste, which I can stand, for a while. I don't take it currently."
Thankfully I do not get that side effect.
"It can have crosspollination with benzodiazepines though, so if you are on a higher dose of benzodiazepines, habituation can come to one or the other or both."I take atavin during the day and in the past have tried true benzo hynotics; one potentiates the other making the combo a bad choice for me.
I have not had this problem with Lunesta.
