Can Lunesta cause flares?

[pee&me]

I just started taking Lunesta instead of Ambien. Sometimes I noticed that Ambien actually helped a little with pain, but I have been flaring ever since I started taking the Lunesta...particularly in the morning. Anyone else noticed a similar connection?
Thanks

Lunesta and flare

Here's what I think -- if you haven't changed anything else or gotten into stress over something and you start a pill (try a food, new lotion, etc.) and have pain immediately or sometime in the first week, it is the new thing (in this case pill)! I only try one thing at a time for this reason.

I take lunesta without flares. HOWEVER, pretty much everything else that causes me flares seems fine for everyone else with IC. Bottom-line, we are all SO different that it's probably you and the med are not a match! Try stopping it and see if it goes away. Experiment and if you have problems, get another sleeping med. I haven't tried rozeram but I see commercials for it all the time.

I hate insomnia - have it really bad (go to bed at 11 fall asleep at 7:15ish) and when I don't have insomnia I have THE BLADDER being angry so it's a lose-lose. But I have really liked lunesta but don't want to take it every night so I do it about 3 times a week and am tired the rest of the time. Ugh.

Feel better soon!
