About the desk · Austin, Texas · Adults 18+

Every number on a card has a label section behind it.

Lunivexa is a sleep medicine information desk in Austin, Texas. We write plain-language cards for prescription sleep medication for adults and the common shelf products, and we answer questions about them by email and phone. We do not prescribe, and we sell nothing.

Who runs this site

Lunivexa, at lunivexa.us.

The site is run by Lunivexa, trading at lunivexa.us. It is a reference and inquiry service: a small desk that writes medicine cards and replies to questions. It is not a pharmacy, a clinic, a telehealth service or a drug maker, and it has no commercial tie to any medicine on the list.

The desk is based at 73 Workshop Way, Büro 5, Austin, Texas 51576, United States. Nobody collects medicine there and nothing is dispensed from that address. It is where the mail goes and where the cards are written.

You will see "the desk" and "we" throughout the site. That is deliberate. The card carries the label source, and the source is what you should weigh, not a name.

What the desk actually does

Label, then plain English, then a second read.

The desk keeps one card for each of the five families on the insomnia medication list, with a section per agent. When you write in naming a medicine, we send that family's card by email as a printable PDF, answer the specific question you asked in a few lines, and attach a one-page question sheet for your prescriber. That is the whole service. It costs nothing, and there is nothing to buy afterwards.

Every dose figure is lifted from the current US prescribing label on DailyMed, section 2 for dosage, section 5 for warnings, section 7 for interactions. The card prints that section in a monospace line under each fact. If a figure cannot be traced to a label, it does not go on the card. That is why trazodone and mirtazapine have an OFF-LABEL stamp and a blank where a dose would be.

You can check any of it yourself. Search the drug name on DailyMed, open the label, go to the section on the card. If our figure differs from the label, the label wins and we owe you a correction under the card accuracy guarantee.

  1. 01

    Pull the label

    Current DailyMed version, date noted. Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 12 are copied into a working sheet word for word.

  2. 02

    Rewrite at plain level

    One fact per line. Numbers, not adjectives. "Seven hours left in bed", never "a full night".

  3. 03

    Second read against the label

    Every figure checked back against the source section before the card is released. Any label update triggers the same pass.

An open notebook with a hand-drawn two-week sleep diary grid and a pencil
Two weeks, pencil, one row a night. Beats memory every time.

Sleep diary and question sheet

Bring two weeks of paper, not a feeling.

The appointment usually goes badly for one reason: "I sleep terribly" is all the prescriber gets. So the card pack includes a two-week diary grid. One row per night. Time into bed, rough time asleep, number of wakings, time up, any tablet with its dose and the clock time you took it, alcohol, and how alert you were at 10 a.m. on a scale of 1 to 5.

The question sheet sits beside it. It holds eight questions, printed with space to write the answers:

  • Is my problem falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early?
  • How many hours must I have left in bed on this medicine?
  • Can I drive the next morning, and at what dose would that change?
  • Does anything I already take change the dose?
  • Is this use on the label or off-label?
  • How long should I take it before we review?
  • How would I stop, if we decide to?
  • Should I try CBT for insomnia first or alongside?

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia is the first-line treatment in US guidelines. We mention it because the labels do not, and because most people who write in have never heard of it.

What we refuse

Four things the desk will not do.

  • We don't prescribe.

    No diagnosis, no recommendation of one drug over another for you, no "should I start". Those need a clinician who has examined you.

  • We don't sell, ship or dispense.

    No pharmacy, no partner pharmacy, no affiliate links. We make no money from which medicine you end up on.

  • No off-label doses.

    When a use has no label, the card says so and leaves the dose line empty. Forums will give you a number. We won't.

  • Nobody under 18.

    Every card is written from adult labels. Questions about children or teenagers are declined with a pointer to a pediatrician or pharmacist.

The practical safety rules that sit behind every card, from next-morning driving to the Beers list, are collected on the safety page.

Reach a person

Write, call, or post a letter.

A person at the desk reads every message; nothing is answered by a bot. Replies go out on working days, Central Time. Email is the fastest route, because the card and the question sheet come back as attachments. A message sent at the weekend is read on the next working day. If you phone and nobody picks up, leave a number and the medicine name.

For anything urgent, do not wait for us. Call 911 in an emergency, or call or text 988 for a mental health crisis.

Ask the desk

Information only. Not a prescription, not a diagnosis. Talk to your prescriber or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing a dose.
