Hi,
Thank you for contacting Healthcare magic.
Lunesta (eszopiclone) is safe to take when you still have some symptoms of concussion.
Headaches may subside in a few more days.
Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
