Can I Take A Lunesta If I Dissolve It-I'm Only 8 Days Post Op?



Recommended Posts

I think they said I could when they gave me my discharge papers but really not totally sure. They crossed through my anti-inflammatory medication and told me not to take that but didn't say anything about my Lunesta. Need a good night's sleep but not sure if it will affect me different on my new stomach??? :wub: Thank you!!!

I crushed and drank an Ambien 3 days out of surgery and had no problems, just a great night sleep :)

I bet if you call the hospital and talk to the nursing staff they can tell you. :) Not sure if you are suppose to take that with the pain meds.

Lunesta is a tiny winy pill ... you should have no problem ... I take ambien and took it right after surgery .. I am a chronic insomniac so I have to take it every night ... I really don't think you will have any problems taking the lunesta ... try having a hot cup of tea when you take it so that it goes down nice & easy (& probably will melt right away in your insides as you drink something warm like tea or even some chicken broth or some hot cocoa (sugar free) ) .... happy dreams!

My acid inhibitor pills were normal capsule size and I took them right after surgery. Some pills are time release and shouldn't be crushed.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
