Lunesta

Lunesta

Lunesta (eszopiclone) is a drug for insomnia. It helps you fall asleep quickly, stay asleep long enough, and calm brain activity.

Lunesta has a boxed warning, the most serious warning issued by the FDA, about the risk of unusual sleep behavior, including causes for sleepwalking, sleep-driving, or other behavior while not fully awake.

Some people may be at heightened risk for these behaviors. If you have concerns about these possible side effects, discuss possible alternative treatments with your doctor or pharmacist.
