Brief Answer:
not to exceed 3 mg once daily

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

FDA recommends that the total dose of Lunesta should not exceed 3 mg once daily.

However, there are case reports of patients surviving after taking doses as high as 30mg.

However, I would sincerely request you to not exceed over recommended dose.

Kindly discuss this with your doctor.

Take care.
