Question : I have a bad cold and have had trouble with congestion the past few nights. So I took 30ml of NyQuil and then not thinking I took my usual dose of lunesta (1.5 mg). Should I b concerned? It's been over half hour and I'm afraid to go to sleep.

Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Lunesta (Eszopiclone) does not seem to have interactions with over the counter cough medication like NyQuil and so you need not worry.

You can go to sleep at ease.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
