If you suddenly stop taking Lunesta
® (
eszopiclone), you may experience withdrawal symptoms. Some of the drug's possible withdrawal symptoms can include abnormal dreams, sweating, and unpleasant feelings or
anxiety.
Lunesta withdrawal symptoms tend to be worse the first couple of nights after the medication is stopped. In most cases, if withdrawal symptoms do occur, they are usually minor and improve with time, without the need for any treatment.
