>Yes..I agree with you completely! A treatment for insomnia, which is usually attatched to another psychiatric problem like depression or anxiety, should *not* be advertised like it is some 'undiscovered' cure for the masses! (e.g. they make it like, going to get Lunesta is like buying a multivitamin)
I remember my days (which I still do have) of deep, dark despair, and not being able to calm down at night due to overwhelming psychic angst and pain...where I just want to 'end it all'..or 'make it stop'...and a sleep med like Lunesta brought relief. Geezz...it's not something you just give someone who slep't in late on Saturday so they can go to bed early on Sunday! (IMHO..anyways..)/rant...
Best, Jay :)
