New Sleeping Pill in My Future?

[perzephone]

I saw an ad for it last night. It looks a lot like the 'Ambien' ads. It's called Lunesta/Lunestra (there seems to be some confusion on the web about that). It used to be called Estorra during the clinical trials. But anyway... it's a chemical called eszopiclone. (It all sounds espanol to me - espaghetti, especial, ese)... Supposedly it's non-narcotic, faster acting than Ambien (10 min. as opposed to 20 min), and supposed to have a lower chance of causing backlash insomnia. The thing about it that appeals to me is the fact that you can take it for a long time. Most narcotic sleeping pills are only usually prescribed for 1 - 2 wks. But w/Lunestra, you can take it for up to 6 months. Wowee! So when my Ambien scrip runs out, that's my next drug of choice.

The takeover was bumped up due to the fast conclusion to the Detroit sale. The Sr. Vice President's last day was Friday, some bigwig from the casino is gone... I don't know exactly what to expect on Weds. when I go in. This whole training-Kelly ordeal may have been for naught.
