A member asked:

I have been taking lunesta for a month i would like to dtop taking it what is the best way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lunesta appears to be one of the more effective sleep agents, and sudden cessation would likely cause insomnia. Taper off slowly, working closely with your doctor. Focus on sleep hygiene approaches.
