I USE to take the sleeping pill Lunesta because I wasn't able to sleep at night. My doctor prescribed it for me and I thought "this is awesome"! I would take it at night and sleep the entre night through.
Until...
I realized that every night I took it I had terrible nightmares! So I stopped taking it and tried to just natural ways to help better my sleep.
The other night I was watching a commerical for it and when they listed the side ffects. I would shocked! I never knew there was so many horrible ramifications! Check it out!
