I should be sleeping.

I should at least be in bed, trying to sleep.

I should.

So, I’ve decided to get off the Lunesta I’ve been taking forever. I think the side-effects are causing some of the recurring, chronic medical problem things I’ve also been dealing with forever. I don’t know for sure, but I aim to find out.

So, I went browsing for info on withdrawal effects from Lunesta on the web, and I found the following:

What drug(s) may interact with Eszopiclone?
•caffeine
•flumazenil
•certain antidepressants, like citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, or sertraline
•medications for fungal infections, like ketoconazole, fluconazole, or itraconazole
•some medicines used to treat HIV infection or AIDS, like ritonavir
•St. John’s wort

Notice that last one?
St John’s Wort?

Yeah, I’ve been taking that nightly along with my Lunesta for 5 to 6 months now.
That’s a lot of doses of drug interactions.

What’s worse is that I cannot find how Lunesta and SJW behave when mixed. Did I cause myself irreparable damage?

Sucks to be me.

Regardless, I’ve been planning on making an appointment with the sleep clinic. There’s one just down the road. I tried to call to set up an appointment today, but I got stuck in phone menu press 2 for english hell. I’ll call back tomorrow and ask about the contraindications of the interactions.

Sucks to be me sometimes.

I think I’m going to go get something to eat. I’m hungry.

And her eyes. I cannot say what color Lenore Beadsman’s eyes are; I cannot look at them; they are the sun to me.

They are blue.
