Yes it's true what Mum says, I usually have weird side effects from whatever medication I've tried, but I didn't on these sleep meds. Lunesta is a hypnotic similar in action to benzodiazepines, except that it apparently targets a different area of the brain. I guess you would just have to try it out to see if it worked for you or not. As far as side effects go though you shouldn't have too much trouble.
