| 4 | Anxiety,Panic, PTSD, Fibro | No side effects other than slight metallic taste in mouth in am. Not enough to be bothersome. | I have had severe tremors inside and very vivid nightmares and have not slept well for last few months with extreme anxiety. Dr. says I may be bi-polar with PTSD Anxiety and panic attacks. Gave me lots of meds and I have had side effects from all. Lunesta gave me a good nights sleep. Then in past week with better sleep my panic and anxiety got better. Still take Klonopin .5 at night and 1 MG in day. But, till I took Lunesta nothing was working. I think I will keep taking till my body feels completely rested and I start healing.I am also going to start eating more healthy. I will keep you posted of any changes, good or bad. | F | 57 | 7 days 3 MG 1X D | 8/22/2010 | 1 | Occasional Insomnia | Disgusting flavor in mouth, extreme night sweating | This medication is ridiculously expensive ($65 for 30 - 1mg tablets) even with my decent insurance. There is no cheaper generic. Also, the side effects were very bothersome to me. Nothing I ate or drank would get that taste out of my mouth for days. Also, waking up literally drenched in sweat every morning was not worth the few hours of being knocked out, especially since it left me feeling just as tired as before. | F | 27 | 1 months 1mg 1X AN | 8/7/2010 | 2 | Insomnia | Depression, periods of anxiety, lethargy the next day. Withdrawal from people. | Don't start on this stuff. It's not worth it. | M | 56 | 6 months 20 1X D | 8/4/2010 | 3 | chronic insomnia | Initial euphoria, vivid dreams/nightmares, impaired memory and hangover feeling the next day, bizarre actions under the influence of the drug: emailing old contacts and other strange behaviour during the night with no memory of it upon waking up. Very addictive and has severe withdrawal effects if taken long term. | I've been diagnosed with childhood onset primary insomnia and delayed sleep phase syndrome. I can't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, and even then, I toss and turn for hours unless I take something to knock me out. My doctor prescribed this to me (one 7.5 mg pill at night) when I was a seventeen year old struggling to finish the last year of high school while battling severe sleep deprivation. At first, it was a godsend. I even grew to like the bitter taste. That meant the drug was kicking in and I would soon fall asleep (finally!). Dreams and nightmares became more vivid. It knocked me out, but I would wake up after a few hours, and if it's taken on consecutive nights, the groggy hangover effect the next day is almost as bad as sleep deprivation. Over the years I had to double the dosage. I get hit with random anxiety attacks during the day if I go more than 24 hours without a dose. It can be very, very addictive, particularly if your insomnia is ongoing and your doctor refuses to try other drug interventions, as my doctors have. Often I have to take two or more 7.5 mg tablets at night in order to fall asleep. I'd recommend it for occasional insomnia, not as a long-term treatment for chronic insomnia or other sleep disorders. I've tried to taper off gradually. But I always relapse and take another Lunesta pill after a few days without sleep, and the cycle of drug dependence continues. There has to be a better solution somewhere. | F | 24 | 7 years 7.5 mg 1X D | 7/26/2010 | 5 | chronic insomnia | other than the metalic taste in the mouth none. Occasionally it will not work but that is due to eating fatty food prior to taking it. I started taking lunesta when it first came out and the metalic taste in the mouth was not talked about much. have found that the taste gets better with use. I have seen the posts about depression and aggression. this has not been an issue with me | I was sleep deprived for around 3 years prior to taking medications for it. I worked night shift for over 20 years and have messed up my body's natural sleep patterns. what everyone needs to remember is drugs work differently on people. I have read posts here about ambien etc. I tried all the other sleep aids. I can take an ambien and 4 hours later I am still wide awake. I still wake up at night even with the lunesta, it is easier to get back to sleep with it. On average I sleep 4 to 5 good hours each night. To some that may not seem like alot but when you have sleep studies that show no REM or deep sleep that 4 to 5 hours is a god send to me. If anyone has any questions I will glady answer them. As far as costs go yes it is expensive and the insurance companies are doing a good job of making it difficult to get this drug. Sepracor the maker of lunesta does have a savings program that can help with $50 of your co-pay each month for a year. Even if that was not available I would continue to find a way to get it. | F | 48 | 4 years 3 1X D | 7/22/2010 | 5 | Post dramatic stress disorder | Will feel a little drowsy if I don't get at least seven-hours of sleep. The nightmares will come if I don't take it! | The lunesta works if taken properly. Always maintain a proper diet with plenty of exercise; never eat a hearty-meal four-hours prior to bedtime; drink plenty of water through-out the day; avoid social distractions and negative people at all times; take-up gardening and enjoy the butterflies and birds while the plants are blooming. | M | 54 | 6 years 2mg 1X D | 7/1/2010 | 5 | Insomnia as a result of Depression | I took one pill about 30 minutes before bedtime. I slept well and noticed no side effects. | I would highly recommend Lunesta over Seraquil -- I started on a low dose of that for sleep and there were a lot of side effects like bloating. She switched me to Lunesta and it was great -- no problems for me. | M | 54 | 2 months 3mg 1X D | 6/20/2010 | 3 | sleep issues | bad taste in mouth for first few months of use | Worked well for awhile, not working for me after regular use for the last year or so...but it's better than nothing.... | F | 53 | 2 years 2mg 1X D | 6/12/2010 | 4 | INSOMNIA DUE TO STRESS | I HAVE ENJOYED THE SLEEP THAT LUNESTA HAS BROUGHT ME FOR TWO YEARS NOW. BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM "ETREMELY" FATIGUED DURING THE DAY. I HAVE STOPPED TAKING IT SO MUCH AND I FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN. OTHER THAN THAT, NO SIDE EFFECTS. | M | 42 | 2 years 3MG 1X D | 6/8/2010 | 4 | insomnia | dry mouth, hallucinogenic dreams, but I am also taking it with Maprotiline and Rozerem so I'm not exactly sure which one caused those. I ran out of Lunesta tonight and i am up at 6am still | It knocks me out | M | 24 | 6 months 3mg 1X D | 6/4/2010 | 4 | difficulty going to sleep, staying | Very bitter taste (I split 30MG), wallet weight loss (i.e. no generic so it is expensive) | Out of Ambien, melatonin, valerian and various OTC sleep aids the Lunesta worked best for me. I am a computer administrator and occasionally get calls in the middle of the night. Ambien made me a zombie; apparently I answered a page and went back to sleep without responding and did not remember the call in the morning. I took Lunesta 5-7 days out of the week, got to sleep in a reasonable amount of time, got a good 6+ hours of sleep and if I awoke during the night to pee or answer a page I would not be physically messed up. I recently switched to Ambien due to cost but I am considering switching back. Your results may vary; it does not work for my wife. | M | 41 | 8 months 15 MG 1X D | 6/2/2010 | 5 | insomnia | bitter taste, drowsiness for about 5 minutes after waking | I've had intermittent problems with sleeping for many years, but since I've had to start taking blood pressure medication, my insomnia is chronic. Lunesta has been great. I take it almost every night, and it enables me to get a full night's sleep and to feel good all day during my busy day teaching high school. I may be psychologically addicted to sleeping well, but so what? | F | 60 | 9 months 3 mg 1X D | 6/1/2010 | 4 | REM Sleep behavior disorder | I sleep. I take 5 minutes to be alert after I wake up. | The RBD seems to be gone. I sleep better. | M | 70 | 6 months .75 mg 1X D | 5/30/2010 | 2 | fatigue, depression, loss of appetite. | Don't get started on it. It's expensive and not worth it in the long run. The side effects - fatigue, depression, loss of libido, are worse than the insomnia. | M | 56 | 30 days 20 1X D | 5/21/2010 | 1 | Trouble Falling and Staying Asleep | Aggressiveness,depression,slightly uninhibited,next-day sleepiness, and metallic taste in mouth. | I was initially happy and thrilled, thinking I finally found the answer to my sleep problem. My enthusiasm quickly waned when I noticed that the drug is making me feel down all the time. I kept taking the drug, thinking i'd get better with time. After a while I started getting pangs of panic, but kept going hoping that it would get better. After about a week and a half I kinda snapped at a coworker, something I havn't done before. In a nutshell, this medicine made me feel weird and emotional. I would not recommend it. | M | 25 | 10 days 1-3 mg 1X D | 5/14/2010 | 5 | insomnia (chronic) | I'm am noticing few heart palpitations. not much-- but I'm getting little concerned. | I've tried EVERYTHING for insomina--light therapy, natural alternatives, cognitive behavior, etc. Has gotten chronic since hysterectomy 11 yrs ago. Lunesta works great for me, but to get 6 solid hours, I also take a dramamine w/it. | F | 53 | 4 months 3mg 1X D | 5/6/2010 | 1 | Insomnia | heart palpitations, anxiety, panic attacks, heart literally hurt with any type of exurtion, unable to reach orgasm | I never had a panic attack in my life until I started taking Lunesta. Within a couple months, I develped a ton of anxiety related symptoms. The symptoms were so severe that I literally thought I was dying. Constant anxiety, heart palps, racing heart, and panic attacks. I couldn't eat due to the anxiety and lost a ton of weight. I went to a few different doctors and they all thought I was crazy, one even told me I was bi-polar. I had no idea Lunesta was the cause until I started doing some research and found that this was in fact a symptom. Within 2 days of stopping Lunesta, every single symptom was gone!!! I was emotionally addicted to it and was scared to stop (thinking I wouldn't be able to sleep on my own) but within a few nights I was sleeping through the night again without the use of sleep aids. | F | 35 | 1X D | 5/6/2010 | 4 | Insomnia | Dry mouth, metallic taste, headache, aggressiveness | New to insomnia, doctor recommended Lunesta. It works pretty good. I still wake up once or twice, but fall back asleep quickly. I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning which is so not normal for me. I have also felt pretty aggressive. All in all, it does help me sleep enough to make the side effects bearable. | F | 26 | 3 weeks 2mg 1X D | 4/15/2010 | 5 | Insomnia | Metallic taste the next morning and part of the afternoon. | If you drink cranberry juice every day, you will not have the metallic taste in your mouth. It makes a huge difference. I have not experienced any other unwanted side effects | F | 21 | 6 months 3mg 1X D | 4/14/2010 | 4 | Insomnia | The bad taste is terrible but the Ambien-related calls/emails to exes and people I never want to talk to again were worse. I find that drinking a LOT of water the next day and vigorously brushing your tongue will help lessen the day after metallic taste! | Brush your tongue! | F | 30 | 7 days 3 mg 1X AN | 4/6/2010 | 3 | insomnia | headaches, dry mouth, inability to sleep more than 5 gours | F | 46 | 1 years 3 1X D | 4/4/2010 | 1 | Unable to fall asleep and stay asle | I cannot go to sleep, it keeps me awake | I took Ambien for about 4 months and it worked well. I stayed off any sleep aids for several months and then gradually got to where I could not sleep again, so I asked for Lunesta. My copay was $40. I have been taking one pill at bedtime for seven days and have not slept well all week. It is 2:40 in the morning and I am on the computer and have to go to work at 5:00. It is not working for me, maybe even the reverse. | M | 49 | 7 days 2mg 1X D | 3/29/2010 | 5 | Narcolepsy | bad taste. | This drug has been great for me. I used to have a lot of trouble getting a good night sleep. I would wake up during the night a lot. Now, I don't wake up. If I need to go to the bathroom, I can go right back to sleep afterwards. I was starting to get symptoms of cronic fatigue syndrome before I started taking Lunesta, but after I started those problems went away. I take it every night and I have been doing this for almost 2 years. | M | 44 | 2 years 3 1X D | 3/18/2010 | 5 | Insomnia (primary) | Memory loss, "flashes" of brief unconsciousness, nausea and anxiety in the evenings | After 16 years of nightly insomnia, this was a miracle drug for me. I first starting buying it in Canada as Zopiclone in 1999 before Sepracor obtained the patent for the USA, eliminated parts of the zopiclone formulation and re-issued it as Eszopiclone (Lunesta). I have never looked back. For the first time in 16 years I was able to hold down a difficult job (up to my mental capabilities). Without it, I'm just taking up space. Only wish we had approval for it here in the UK because the old formula sucks (BAD side effects). I fly home periodically to stock up rather than risk importing through customs. Yes, I have built up tolerance, increased my intake to 6 mg, and gone off of it -- usually once per year does the trick. It is SO worth it, even though extremely expensive for me, especially considering airfare and time off work. But -- I have a LIFE now! | F | 52 | 11 years 3 mg 1X D | 3/16/2010 | 1 | insominia | nervousness, anxiety, panic, feeling of taken too much caffeine, weepy,depressed, heart palpitations. I have been going through a rough time.Had a major panic attack and heart palpitations. Crying and jitterness. Sleeping was ok. But was taking what I could. I just read these side effects for Lunesta a week ago. I have gone to a therapist for 6 mo's. Been off it for a wk. Feel amazing. I beg you -do not take Lunesta. I am not a Dr. but my symptoms are gone. I have been through hell. | It has taken me over 7-8 mo's to realize Lunesta messed my chemical balance in my brain. You will end up taking other drugs b/c you or your Dr. will not catch the spiral. I am sick but relieved that I will not feel out of my skin and body. If it works for you.Great. Just be careful. It creeps up on you. | M | 39 | 9 days 2mg 1X D | 3/14/2010 | 5 | Chronic Insomnia | Bad taste in mouth, vivid dreams | I have been taking this on and off for about 4 yrs, rotating with Benedryl(simply sleep) or melatonin, just so i do not form a dependence on it and it seems the Lunesta works better when i don't take it daily. It is by far the best sleep agent of any I have used. Xanax slows you down , which I do not like, Ambien left me with a depressive hangover but i get non of this from Lunesta. I do have more vivid dreams at times, but it does not bother me. | F | 63 | 4 years 2mg 1X D | 3/5/2010 | 4 | Anxiety/PTSD-related depression | I believe this needs to be taken at a "normal" sleep hour as in taking when you normally go to sleep. Taking at a later hour will cause drowsiness or oversleeping. | I have PTSD and, at times, find insomnia/anxiety a major problem along with the accompanying disturbing dreams and intrusive thoughts., Before the events causing my PTSD, sleep was never a problem.. Lunesta has been a godsend. I've taken Ambien, which only pooped out. Benzos only work for panic/anxiety--they do not really help to create a long-term sleep. I tried to go off Lunesta and only found that my sleep patterns, which are PTSD related and cause depression, became worse. After a few months off of Lunesta as needed, I began to develop terrible insomnia, vivid dreams, and accompanying anxiety, which resulted in very little sleep and early morning awakening. Back on the Lunesta, my sleep becomes much more normal withlittle hangover effect as I take Wellbrutrin in the morning. If I awaken during the night, I am able to go back to sleep. I feel awake and aware in the am along with the Wellbrutrin. Must be careful with coffee. I prefer the Lunesta rather than the horrible sleep without it. Take the 3mg. Lunesta has make my life much better. Depression without sleep is horrible. Good idea to keep to you AD and only take when necessary. | F | 50 | 2 years 30 mg 1X D | 2/12/2010 | 5 | insomnia due to worry | None ...... | I have had a heck of time with my elderly parents and the only thing that got me to get some sleep in the hospitals, emergency rooms, and anywhere else I could find a place to lay at night was Lunesta .... today a doctor told me I could possibly have memory loss as I age and I told him that's okay with me .... if I have to go through what my folks did for the past 3 years and not remember it --- yee-ha --- plus maybe I'll forget what I've gone through too. Now that things are settling down I do plan on getting off of it this summer. | F | 56 | 3 years 1X D | 2/3/2010 | 4 | unalbe to sleep | mostly it's blurred vision but that may be secondary to some drowsiness. I took 3mg and it's like a push through the day. I'm going to try 2mg. | F | 64 | 5 days | 1/15/2010 | 1 | insomnia | terrible headaches, did not make me fall asleep | I will not take this drug again. | F | 39 | 5 days | 1/11/2010 | 3 | divorce | I found myself drinking coffee all day and night (I guess I thought it would be better than wine) so the Lunesta did not put me to sleep and I found myself being really mean and saying nasty things to the ones supporting me right now! I've stopped the caffine so hope this helps. Only been about 4 days. Honestley, can't believe how mean I was. | F | 53 | 4 days | 1/5/2010 | 1 | Inability to sleep | Metallic taste in my mouth. | Obscenely overpriced,completely ineffective at 3 milligrams. OTC Unisom far more effective | F | 35 | 3 weeks | 12/31/2009 | 1 | could not fall asleep at night. | when i began taking lunesta. rotten taste in my mouth.which was not as bad .as the panick attacks i began to have .which before taking this medicine.i have never had a panick attack. | i would not reccomend any one try or take lunesta.try unisome i have been taking it every night since i stopped the lunesta.and its cheaper and no side affects. | M | 42 | 2 months | 12/30/2009 | 4 | To get a full night's sleep | Have not noticed any side effects. Do have trouble with short time memory which may be caused by the use of Lunesta. | Have been using Lunesta every night for 2 years. It's great but I hate to think of it's high cost for the remainder of my life. Would love to find a less expensive replacement. | M | 68 | 2 years | 12/26/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Metallic taste in mouth Didn’t make me sleepy AT ALL Headache | I found drinking orange juice helped a little bit with the bad taste I am ether going to switch back to ambian or explore other optchens I am very disappointed | F | 18 | 1 days | 12/18/2009 | 2 | REM Sleep behavior disorder | None. Aside from melatonin this drug had no side effects, and like melatinin no beneficial effects | I have found no drug that helps with RBD. I also have RLS and find oxycodone works well for that. I also find oxycodone goos to put me to sleep and stay asleep. | M | 69 | 30 days | 12/16/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Didn't help me sleep, nasty taste in my mouth | I was taking Sonata but I needed something stronger and longer acting so I tried Lunesta. It didn't help make me tired. But I fell asleep at a decent hour, and woke up in the middle of the night (like I usually do). I couldn't go back to bed. When I did wake up, I noticed a gross taste in my mouth, which didn't go away from brushing my teeth. Whenever I drank any water, it tasted terrible (which is hard for me because I drink a lot of water). All in all, I'm going to switch off of Lunesta because it doesn't help me and I don't enjoy the bitter taste in my mouth. | F | 20 | 2 days | 12/10/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Caused a nasty, bitter taste in my mouth and depression. | This medication does not work for me. Does not help with sleep and the side effects are aweful. | F | 37 | 5 days | 12/9/2009 | 4 | chronic fatigue syndrome w/insomnia | My short term memory was affected I seemed to notice it more as time went on, not dibiltating, but very annoying so I am trying Rozerem. Other than the memory thing, Lunesta worked very well for me. | M | 58 | 2 years | 12/5/2009 | 1 | insomnia | horrible taste in mouth | F | 37 | | 11/8/2009 | 4 | Insomnia | Only side effect was a bad headache most mornings and sometimes bad enough to wake me up at night. Other than that, it was worked wonders for me. | This med. gently put me to sleep and did not generally make me feel groggy in the morning like ambien and klonopin. No weight gain from this med. unlike the others I have tried. Would like to be able to sleep without meds. but am thankful to have a relatively restful night's sleep. | F | 43 | 2 years | 10/23/2009 | 2 | insomnia | Only took Lunesta 7 days. Terrible headaches for five days straight after I decided to stop taking it. Awful metallic taste in my mouth, food and water lost all appeal. YUK, not worth it. | F | 43 | 7 days | 10/17/2009 | 5 | Insomnia | Bad taste | I have been taking Lunesta for about 4 years now, since it came out and it's been perfect. Ambien didn't really work for me, but 3mg per night of Lunesta has been perfect. I have nightmares and have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep when I DON'T take it. I always thought that was totally normal. . .I never knew that normal was actually sleeping through the night. I can't believe I lived for so many years not sleeping and waking up every hour and a half! | F | 37 | 4 years | 10/16/2009 | 4 | Insomnia | Bitter Taste, Mild Euphoria, Mild Relaxation, Able to Sleep. | Lunesta is to Ambien what a light beer is to two shots of Whisky. Instead of knocking me out and doing all the work for me (which Ambien would typically do), Lunesta holds your hand through the getting to sleep process and doesn't necessarily force you into it. Like most users, I experienced that strange taste sensation which reminded me of the bitter xanax if it stays on your tongue for too long. I did not hop into the bed for about 45 minutes after taking the pill. During that time I began noticing a slight sense of euphoria, though it wasn't in relation to any relaxation. Could have been caused by trying a new sleep medicine. I'm sure that excites most inosmniacs. I finally decided that it was about time to see if I could get unconsious for a few hours, so I hopped in the bed. I turned on each side a time or two, slowly began to relax, and I found it quite easy to drift to sleep. I woke up about three times, and fell back asleep within a minute each time. Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world, despite that bitter penny and dime flavor permeating my mouth. Would prefer Ambien, but Lunesta teaches us to sleep while Ambien forces us to sleep. | M | 22 | 1 days | 10/16/2009 | 3 | Insomnia | Taste was terrible, Left me feeling groggy and my body unwilling to actually "wake up" | It did the job of putting me to sleep..But also left me with the feeling/taste that I had just drank a copper Slurpee!..Was rather unpleasant..And I woke up feeling super groggy..And after a hot shower, a nice breakfast and 3 hours later..I still feel like my body just doesn't wanna wake up!..So..It worked..But not well enough for me to really enjoy the experience.. | M | 27 | 1 days | 10/8/2009 | 1 | insomnia | metal taste in mouth..YUCK, made food taste bad, even water tasted bad. Had horrible nightmares, the kind that make you wake up screaming and in a cold sweat. | I tried Lunesta because I do weird things on Ambien. The weird things I did on Ambien are worth it, compared to lunesta. | F | 40 | 1 months | 10/7/2009 | 2 | Insomnia | Light on\off sleep till morning with the heavest sleep after 5-7 hours. Could have stayed in bed and did some days because in the morning it seemed to work its best. Incredibly crazy dreams. Muscle weekness with sluggishness still after 48 hours off this sleep aid. Urinated twice as much during the next day and at least once during the night. No bitter taste in my mouth while taking. | Doctor gave me the free 7 day trial. Something really not right with this medication. | M | 40 | 7 days | 10/6/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpatations, unable to relax and take naps. | Lunesta worked wonterfully for me for about 30 days. My Dr. prescribed it for insomnia which was the major contributor to high BP. 30 days after I started Lunesta and the BP meds I had a panic attack and assumed it was related to the BP meds and my Dr. concurred. He gave me an antianxiety drug to take if it happened again. It didn't for about another month at which time I started having heart palpitations and fairly regular panic attacks. Again thinking it was related to the BP meds he added another BP med and the problems continued. Anxiety reached the point I began to have IBS which caused me to loose about 36 pounds. My doctor had me see a cardiologist and a GI doctor. None of them ever suspected the Lunesta as the root cause. It was only because I started searching the internet and found all the incidents of anxiety related to Lunesta use that I tied it together. I stopped taking Lunesta and within 6 months I had no IBS probelms, no anxiety problems and gained 20 lbs back. That was the only medicaion change. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Anxiety is a very serious side effect of Lunesta taken for more than a few weeks. | M | 54 | 3 months | 10/5/2009 | 2 | insomnia | depression got worst | did help with sleep for 2 weeks but stopped i think its over rated | M | 47 | 30 days | 9/9/2009 | 1 | Chronic insomnia | severe anxiety,depression | At first I thought it was a great drug for insomnia. No side effects, slept enough and no hangover or drugged feeling. After a month of taking 2-3 times a week, the troubles started and I am still dealing with them. I would rather take Ambien and deal with the addiction. | M | 52 | 1 months | 9/7/2009 | 2 | Got off strong narcotics | It is hard to differentiate between what the Lunesta is doing, as far as side effects are concerned, because a month after getting off the narcotics, I am still in withdrawal. I will have much to write about the horrors of narcotic meds later. | It is hard to tell whether it is really doing anything at all. | F | 53 | 2 weeks | 9/3/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | I took Lunesta for the first time on a Friday night. My sleep was fitful and interrupted every 2 hours. I went from bed to couch to easy chair to bed - it was horrible! Even worse, I was aggitated and hostile. I said things to my fiance without thought or care that were insensitive at best and mean at worst. If a noise or motion woke me, I was angry and mean. I slept off and on for the entire weekend, only coming out of it by Sunday evening. I was remorseful for my behavior, and chose not to have the prescription filled. Unfortunately, my behavior was apparently so despicable, my fiance (of 3 years) packed up and moved out without warning on Monday. | I can definitely say, LUNESTA has ruined my life! | F | 52 | 2 days | 9/1/2009 | 1 | insomnia | 30 minutes after taking medication, terrible metallic taste that lasted nearly 24 hours. | The taste was a complete dealbreaker, I will never take another Lunesta pill again. Switched to Ambien. | F | 46 | 1 days | 8/29/2009 | 3 | Insomnia | feelings of depression and crying spells that were not present before taking Lunesta. My thinking is kind of foggy. | I was afraid to take this at first because of the reviews here but I got desperate for sleep and Lunesta does help me sleep without any odd side effects that I have read about. Mainly it just helps and I get 4-6hours sleep on it. Not great, but enough for me to function. If my anxiety is high, I take it with a small dose of Xanax per my doctor's instructions. However, I have been concerned because I am noticing that increasingly I have been waking up and having crying spells and feelings of depression. Since nothing else is different, I suspect the Lunesta. I am going to talk to my doctor about tapering off to see. | F | 37 | 30 days | 8/25/2009 | 2 | insomnia | F | 47 | 5 days | 8/20/2009 | 5 | insomnia | Chiefly a rotten taste in the mouth..bitter, that lasts all of the next day. | To the female who posted about taking Ambien 5 years and then had terrible side effects with Lunesta: it's possible that your side effects are from Ambien withdrawal. I'm not pushing Lunesta but 3mg does the best job of getting ME to sleep with minimal side effects. BUT: if I take it more than 3 nights in a row, the first night off I will have panic attacks on trying to fall asleep. The next night is fine. Don't know if it's Lunesta withdrawal but it could be. Clearly the benefits have to outweigh the risks to you and sometimes having good sleep is worth a little risk. | F | 55 | 2 years | 8/18/2009 | 2 | Insomnia | Sleep walking, eating, cooking, bizarre email writing and sending. Had to have husband hide the car keys and lock me out of the computer. Wasn't worth the side effects in the long run. | M | 40 | 6 months | 8/10/2009 | 1 | Severe Insomnia | Woke 2 hours in with a horrible cluster headache, vertigo. | Horribly hot, clammy and just generally made me feel sick, was extremely sleepy - could have slept if it were not for the horrible head pain right between my eyes. even just the slightest eye movement made me nauseous. I switched from Ambien CR after taking it for 5 years I started having problems with concentration during the day, and lost "hours" not knowing how I got to bed etc. Don't know what I will do now. I still feel vertigo and it has been 12 hours since I ingested the Lunesta. The taste in the mouth is nothing compared to the horrendous night I had trying to sleep from the pain and vertigo | F | 41 | 1 days | 8/6/2009 | 2 | Trouble staying asleep | Headaches, stomach pain, grogginess, tingling in left hand at night, upper back pain, anxiety, depression, weight loss | First time I took it, I thought it was a miracle drug. I had never had such a good night's sleep. Kept taking it daily (admittedly against my MD's advice), built up a tolerance until I was taking 6 mg per day on a daily basis. Felt generally worse over time physically but was at least able to get to sleep and stay that way. Became very depressed and anxious, lost 20 pounds in two months. Have had to wean myself off of this drug because I'm worried about the long-term effects on my sanity, and it's not fun. | F | 31 | 8 months | 8/5/2009 | 4 | Chronic insomnia | Like most others, I had the bad taste, but it's easily tolerated. My wife told me I have seizures while sleeping when I take it. Other than scaring my wife and children, the seizures don't seem to be a problem except for some soreness the next morning. First morning after taking it I was EXTREMELY groggy. I could barely walk or even see straight. This went away after about 15 minutes. | No I didn't take the medication with alcohol or any other medications. Lunesta did what the doctor said it would do...knock me out and let me sleep. | M | 34 | 3 days | 7/23/2009 | 4 | trouble falling asleep | depression, anxiety and feelings of anger | I have been very happy with Lunesta and never have had a problem with depression, anger or much anxiety but the last week it has been overwhelming to the point of being scary. I used to think when I read about meds causing depression that the people had to have something deep seated in their psyche for this to happen. Well, I have changed my mind. I have been taking it every night for about 6 months so think that I will try and take only when I have something important planned for the next day and see if this depression lifts. I have nothing to feel depressed about so I have to believe it is the med and the anger thing is just not me. Not sure what I will use for the other nights but will try Neurontin or a light Xanax. I go to a sleep neurologist and Lunesta has been the only thing that works most. Maybe will have to lower to 2mg next time and see if that avoids the side effects. | F | 72 | 6 months | 7/22/2009 | 3 | chronic insomnia | Horrible, metallic taste in mouth, similar to the chemo drugs I took. Which is what I think makes it so horrible for me! | Worked well for my sleeping. Although, when dh tried to wake me in the morning I just "ignored" him. | F | 41 | 4 days | 7/21/2009 | 3 | intermittent insomnia | A horrible bitter taste | I have only taken this drug once, 2mg. I slept the whole night through, which is rare for me. I'm usually up 4 or 5 times a night, so this was a treat. However, the bitter taste started the morning after and lasted about 36 hours. The intensity of the bad taste diminished over the 36 hours. Drinking water caused the worst taste, most food disguised the taste somewhat. Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi was the only thing I could drink that tasted right. I will take this again only if I am having extreme difficulties falling asleep. The bad taste was intense and almost a show stopper. | M | 58 | 1 days | 7/20/2009 | 1 | Trouble sleeping more than few hour | I got up and cooked, ate and unlocked the front door. I do not remember if I went anywhere???? I do not remember doing any of this. I live alone and found the evidence the next day. SCary!! | It helped me sleep but I need to hide the car keys and turn off the breaker to the stove. Not funny if you live alone. | F | 50 | 3 days | 7/17/2009 | 5 | waking up not getting a good REM | Yes, it sometimes leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, but paaaalease, get over it -- just brush your teeth and/or use Listerine -- isn't that a mighty small price to pay for a good night's sleep. I wouldn't normally mention such a small side effect such as this, but so many people here are whining about it, I just had to say this to put it into perspective... | All I can say is, "Better living through chemistry" folks... When I first started taking it, I would wake up in the middle of the night and then couldn't get back to sleep, then I found the answer! For me the catalyst that makes this little luna moth pill work for me is to chug it with a beer. Yes, that's right, I pop it with a 12oz bottle of lite beer (or a glass or two of wine) and sleep through the night, and if I should happen to wake up, I can get back to sleep within 15 minutes. Don't be afraid to take this little blue with alcohol -- you're going to bed aren't you? Or are you planning on operating machinery? Come on, grow up and try it with a glass of wine, beer, liquor, your choice... I'm now splitting them in half and they still work great (as long as I use a chaser!) Try it! I think the little luna moth is great! | M | 49 | 2 years | 7/15/2009 | 5 | Insomnia | Metallic taste | This stuff works great for me. I take 1.5mg a night (cutting my 3 mg pills in half) and it helps me sleep straight through the night without any issues. No bad side effects whatsoever. | M | 27 | 14 days | 7/11/2009 | 3 | Insomnia | bitter taste in mouth, low energy | overall i have to say that lunesta has the least amount of side effects. I have taken a variety of medication for insomnia and this one had been the best in terms of not feeling hungover or drowsy the next morning. when it works it works good, but unfortunately the effect of this drug seams to be hit or miss. sometimes it just doesnt work at all. Also it doesn't provide you with a "deep" sleep, and as a result you wake up feeling lethargic. For me i have to have a complety empty somtach for it to work. ( My doctor told me not to eat an hour before taking the medication..but for me i had to to fast for like at least 3 hours before) in summation its an OK medication for sleeping but it may be too "light" in terms of getting you to sleep | M | 24 | 3 months | 7/10/2009 | 4 | REM Sleep Deprivation | Terrible taste | Bad taste can be avoided by putting cut pills into an empty gelatin capsule with a few drops of olive oil. | F | 59 | 7 days | 7/3/2009 | 1 | Sleep aid | 45 min after taking 2 mg had a headache and was still awake. Then slept two hours. Woke with dry mouth and weird metallic taste. Went outside in skimpy nightgown to watch thunderstorm. Teen son came home and found me outside in driveway. Not even close to normal behavior for me, but I do remember being outside watching storm. Slept off and on for a few more hours. Awoke with "hangover" feeling which went away after a couple hours, and metallic taste gone. | Won't take it again. | F | 52 | 1 days | 6/26/2009 | 5 | unable to sleep after 4 hours | none... no bad taste, no depression | started off on 3mg twice a week to make sure I had a good night's sleep before my part-time work. I later reduced it to 2mg and got just as good results. Now I cannot get a good night's sleep without taking Lunesta. I was concerned about it but my doctor told me not to worry about it as it's not addictive! I wonder. I do take other prescriptions (about 10) and there doesn't seem to be any problem of interaction. | M | 69 | 2 years | 6/22/2009 | 5 | Insomnia | Mild copper taste, not too bad. Never bothered me once I woke up, only right before sleeping. | I took this medication for about 2 years before my insurance company made me try Ambien (which gave me a lot of bad side effects). I stopped taking Lunesta for a while. I noticed some mild trembling in my hands and just felt a little odd for one night. I took a Clonazepam 1mg that night and was fine. Since Lunesta is sort of similar to benzos in makeup (but not addictive), that made sense to me. I didn't have that problem again. I would agree that this drug is non-habit forming, non-addictive despite one night of feeling a little weird after 2 yrs use. | M | 31 | 2 years | 6/14/2009 | 2 | Insomnia | depression, feeling like a zombie, headaches | while the lunesta was able to help me sleep -- i could not take it more than once or twice a week. Taking it for multiple nights in a row (as few as 3 nights) would result in strong feelings of depression, extreme disinterest in getting out of bed, feeling like a zombie throughout the day, and very frequent headaches. | M | 25 | 3 weeks | 6/10/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Very, very severe anxiety. Wakeing from the most horrible realistic dreams of my life, with almost full blown panic attacks. | Please! Don't take it!!!! There are other alternatives. | M | 28 | 3 days | 6/7/2009 | 4 | trouble staying asleep | Noticed a slightly unusual after taste. | Very happy with the results. Fell asleep within 30 minutes. Awoke during the night to use the bathroom as usual and afterward fell back to sleep quickly which is unusual. I noticed another unexpected beneficial side effect. My nocturnal erections were rigid and numerous throughout the night. | M | 60 | 7 days | 6/3/2009 | 3 | sleeplessness | talking out of my head while asleep | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 5/29/2009 | 5 | M | | 5/28/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Metallic taste in mouth, ineffective | I can't believe this stuff did work for me at all. I even tried taking 2 pills and it did nothing. And the taste it leaves in your mouth is horrible. | F | 25 | 1 months | 5/26/2009 | 5 | Couldn't stay asleep | I have not experienced any negative side effects at all. I can fall asleep more easily, BUT the biggest difference is that I actually can STAY asleep and awake feeling rested. | Ambien and Benadryl both made me feel drugged in the morning. My doctor suggested I try Lunesta- no bad taste, no hangover feeling. I plan to take it for a few weeks to recover from severe fatique due to lack of sleep. However, I have more energy now than I've had in weeks. Sleeping well is what cured me! | F | 59 | 2 weeks | 5/23/2009 | 5 | Insomnia | Metallic taste in mouth. Dizziness if I stay up more than 15 minutes after taking. | Lunesta has been wonderful for me thus far. I've taken Ambien, Ambien CR, and Restoril on and off for the past few years for chronic insomnia. Ambien was losing its effectiveness and Restoril took too long to "kick in" (it took an average of 2 hours to fall asleep). I was hesitant about the Lunesta given so many poor ratings. But, it's been fantastic. Yes, it does leave a fairly strong metallic taste in my mouth, but I can live with that (brushing your teeth does help with that taste). I am asleep within 15-20 minutes of taking it and have been able to stay asleep for 8+ hours. If I do happen to wake up during the night or earler than I want, I am able to go right back to sleep, which was not possible with Ambien. It is important to go straight to bed after taking it though. The few times I was not able to go straight to bed (an unexpected phone call, etc), it did make me quite dizzy. But, that is understandable. I am very pleased with Lunesta and happy to be getting a good night's sleep again. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 5/20/2009 | 2 | Insomnia | My mouth tastes like pennies... even the next day. I had to ask my friends if my water was contaminated. It turns out, it is a side effect. | F | 23 | 3 months | 5/19/2009 | 4 | insomnia | Depression when used every night for more than 7 days | Great drug for occassional use. With 2mg Lunesta, got to sleep quickly and stayed asleep. Using Lunesta every night for more than 3 days straight however caused some light depression. Used 4 - 8 days straight, moderate depression and over 8 days, intense vivid dreams and moderate to severe depression. After stopping Lunesta, depression lifted immediately. For me, this is an excellent drug when I am traveling on biz with time zone changes for use 1 or 2 nights. | F | 53 | 1 years | 5/12/2009 | 5 | insomnia | no side effects at all..had bad nightmares on ambien. | i am shocked to say the least by some of these posts..suicidal thoughts..driving your car off a bridge..ruining your life..come on people this is a mild sleeping pill..it's not acid..clearly these people have other issues or on other meds. that are not mixing well. i don't even remember falling asleep. wake up refreshed no aftertaste what so ever .sleep all night.great drug. | F | 53 | 2 weeks | 5/1/2009 | 4 | insomnia | Rotten taste in mouth next day. | I have taken Lunesta 3mg on and off since 2007. It is a good medicine for me. I have posted previously and blamed Lunesta for moodiness and irritability, also anxiety. Turns out these were probably caused by other meds taken at the time. (For example, 200 mg Ibuprofen!) So now, I must post and say the only ill effect I have had is the bad taste in mouth. For a good night's sleep this is tiny price to pay. BUT: I have tried never to take the drug more than 5-7 nights in a row. Also find it will not work if I have eaten anything fatty or greasy within 5 hours of taking it. Fat in the bloodstream really cuts down on its efficiency. To sum up: I can get at least 5 hours of good sleep with Lunesta, with real REM sleep and normal dreams, and minimal side effects. This cuts down on my chronic arthritis pain because I am rested.For me, it's a good medicine. Too bad though, now I have to pay to sleep (it isn't cheap). | F | 54 | 2 years | 4/25/2009 | 3 | Insomnia for about 20 years | Slight taste in mouth , and more tired next day. Almost like a hang over. | I go 7 to 10 days with out any sleep. Tried everything over the counter. They only contain Benadryl. Doesn't work. Tried 30 mg's of Melatonin , didn't work. Went to the doctor , tired Ambien CR , didn't phase me. Went to a Sleep Neurologist and she gave me a hand full of LUNESTA and said give them a try. I took one 15 minutes before bed. I was asleep within one hour. No scarey dreams. Got 6 hours sleep. Wow , that was nice ! But from what I read here , this medication is wicked and should not be used. I have only been one this 1 night. So can't judge if it is hazzardous or not. I am so tired and desperate to sleep. And so far , this stuff really works. But for how long ? Very frustrating. | F | 51 | 1 days | 4/23/2009 | 3 | Sleeping Problems for Years | Bad taste in mouth, unexplained weigh gain,seems to make me irritable at times | I haven't slept right for a good number of yrs. Finally tired of not sleeping, so ask Dr to prescribe meds. First he gave me restoril. Bad! Sleep for 2 hrs then up 2 hrs. I didn't get any descent sleep. He then prescribed Lunesta. I took the pill (2mg) for the 1st time and thought I was in hog heaven. Slept all night and was easy to get up the next morning. I have been taking on average 10 pills a month when need. I've been doing this for apprx 6 months. It now seems within the last month, I can only take one pill a week to get any rest as taking more consecutively will just give me wild dreams and restless night. I've taken a pill tonight (same 2mg) and here it is now 2 1/2 hrs later and I'm still awake. UGH! Back to the drawing board for me. Also, over this same time period I have gained 7.5 lbs. My eating habits have not changed nor my excerise routine. Doc has no explanation for weight gain. | F | 55 | 6 months | 4/20/2009 | 1 | couldn't fall/stay asleep | memory loss, sleep walking and sleep driving after taking lunesta, ambien, ambiem CR and restoril. After consulting the prescribing Dr., she had me try rozerem and it is awesome. It has melatonin in it which is a natural sleep aid and I never had any weird side effects as mentioned above and my memory is getting sharper. Only problem, my new insurance company won't cover it and cash price is $168 for 30 pills. So, I went to the vitamin section of the store and bought natural melatonin for about $7 for 60 3mg pills. Pharmacist said that it may work but it won't have all the chemicals in it that rozerem has in it but thought it wouldn't hurt to try. I took two 3mg pills and had a great nights sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. I'm usually not a huge believer in natural remedies and I know it was only one night I tried it, but I'm very hopeful now. If this doesn't work and I can't get my insurance co. to cover it, I will just pay the $168 for the rozerem. I will not use medicine that pu | Another clue to those not having success with sleep aids, my Dr. told me and there is info. on each of these drugs that if you take it too close to having just eaten a fatty meal, it can screw up how it works, so try taking it at least a few hours after you eat. Good luck | F | 41 | 30 days | 4/10/2009 | 5 | poor sleep | none except a little sleepiness in the morning if I had drank alcohol with it | I don't understand the posts on this website. Lunesta is hands down a life saver. I do not take it every night because of the possibility of dependence, but if I had a bad night's sleep, the next night I will take it to catch up, and it always works perfectly. I sleep unbelievably well with it. Sorry, but I love this drug, but then again, I don't abuse it or take it every day. | F | 44 | 1 years | 4/9/2009 | 4 | Insomnia | I have taken Lunesta for over 3 years. For over 15 years I had problems falling asleep and staying asleep. With Lunesta I can fall asleep and usually do not wake up during the night. I taste was bad a first but that does go away. If you break them in half and try to take it than the taste will be in your mouth all night. I would not recommend that. I love taking Lunesta it is the best thing I have taken and it really works for me. I am not too sure about how long I am able to stay on this without being addicted. But some days I do not take it (if I dont have to get up early the next day) and I dont have any side effects or withdrawals. The only thing is with my insurance it is still $35.00 a month. I hope they make a generic soon. | F | 31 | 3 years | 4/8/2009 | 2 | chronic insomnia | Awful taste in my mouth, excessive urination, dehydration, took 4 hours and 3 pills to finally get to sleep. | It took me 4 hours to get to sleep and that was after taking 9 mg (3 pills) of it! But maybe it was because I kept having to get up to urinate! It felt like a diuretic and made me dehydrated. It also created an awful taste in my mouth, which didn't go away even after brushing my teeth. It made me drowsy, but I couldn't fall asleep. Once I did finally overdose on the medication and there wasn't anything left in my bladder, I did sleep great and woke up feeling good. But, 4 hours to finally get to that point just wasn't worth it! I was on Ambien CR, which works really well for me, but the company I work for decided to change health insurance. New insurance requires me to take at least a month of generic Ambien and a month of Lunesta before they will pay for Ambien CR because Lunesta is their "preferred brand" (I HATE insurance companies!) | F | 23 | 1 days | 4/7/2009 | 1 | insomnia | anxiety,tolerance,dependence,worse insomnia eventually | Dont take this grug for more than a week. Its addictive and should not be used long term. It was hell coming off this drug.I had to take a leave of absense from work for 6 weeks. It was like coming off Xanax all over again. | M | 38 | 1 years | 4/7/2009 | 3 | Insomnia | Depression, excess mucus, memory loss | This is an update to my previous review of Lunesta. While I found it does help me sleep much, much better than Ambien, a few weeks ago I discovered it was the cause of the depression that seemed to come from nowhere. As soon as I stopped taking it the depression disappeared. Was formerly on the 3mg dose--the 3mg made me feel snappy and aggressive, and then the 2mg made me almost suicidal. I would warn anybody else with a history or a tendency towards depression to be very careful & observant on this drug. | F | 1 years | 4/2/2009 | 1 | Insomnia | Woke up after 2 hours and fell in and out of sleep for the next five hours, I was awake for up to two hours - horrible taste, HORRIBLE... | I took Lunesta for the first time night before last and immediately had a horrible taste in my mouth. Thinking that I let it linger on the tongue for a moment too long, I wrote the bad taste off. I went to sleep around 10:30 PM and was awake at 12:30 AM - and I mean wide awake. I used an aromatherapy inhaler a few times that night but drifted in and out of sleep until 5:30 AM. The taste in my mouth lingered almost the entire day. I tried Lunesta again last night and had the same sleep deprivation issue and the same horrible somewhat metallic taste in my mouth all day. It's 6:00 PM and the taste is still there. I've brushed and rinsed three times today and I can still taste it. I'm a chef so interference with taste is a HUGE deal breaker. I'm never taking this again. No sleep and the horrible taste are too much to deal with. I'm going back to Ambien. I can get at least 5 hours of sleep with Ambien - not really enough, but better than Lunesta | F | 41 | 2 days | 3/27/2009 | 3 | insomnia | bad taste, cannot think clearly,anxiety,dizzyness,euphoria. | I have been taking lunesta nightly for about 3 years now for my insomnia.For the most part it does work as far knocking me out quickly.Sometimes I sleep all night, some times I dont.But I have also experienced anxiety, confusion,dizzyness,cannot think clearly at times.Some days are not so bad, others are.I am currently trying to stop taking this stuff and see if the symptoms go away.Hopefully I can find a natural sleep aid that will work for me. | M | 38 | 3 years | 3/23/2009 | 4 | Insomia | Mild metallic taste that easily was brushed/rinsed away in the morning. | I tended to wake up for several hours in the middle of each night and finally broke down and went to my doctor. He prescribed Lunesta and provided samples. Before I filled the prescription I looked for r/w experiences and was very concerned by all the adverse feedback. But after another week of poor sleep, I broke down and took one. I feared nightmares, sleepwalking, a rancid taste in my mouth for a week. Instead I got a full night of deep sleep. There was a mild metallic taste in my mouth the next morning. But it was gone after the morning brush and rinse. I know drugs effect people differently, but it did exactly what I needed it to do with no side effects for me. I only take it every few days. But after a few weeks I feel it's helped me tremendously. | M | 38 | 3 weeks | 3/19/2009 | 2 | F | 38 | 10 days | 3/19/2009 | 2 | Horrible Insomnia | Horrible taste in mouth. Wide awake after only 2 hours. Sleepiness during the day. Anxiety. | In the past, I have been on Triazolom, Ambien, and Ambien Cr. While they all had their own pros and cons, Ambien Cr seemed to work best for me until I had an incident of sleep driving which resulted in an accident. At that point, I stopped all sleep medications. But after 6 months of limited sleep at best, I knew I needed to try something else. Dr. prescribed Lunesta 3mg. I do not like the unpleasant taste, and have awakened 2 hours after falling asleep both nights. Not sure that I will continue to take it. Some of the responses here really worry me. | F | 42 | 2 days | 3/14/2009 | 4 | Insomnia | There is a metallic taste the next day but it's not overbearing at all. And it goes away. | This is the only med that gets me to fall and stay asleep for 7 hours and the next day I feel rested. The dreams are a trip, too. I have no complaints, only one concern and that's with the alcohol - I didn't notice it myself, but others have said that using Lunesta ups alcohol cravings and usage. I drink moderately - I'm the 1-2 glasses of wine a day person and don't want to lose control of that. Will watch that but otherwise, Lunesta's working. BTW - I tried Trazadone first for sleep issues and felt like a zombie 10 minutes after taking it every time - Lunesta just makes you feel sleepy - you know, like the Mr. Sandman had visted as my Mom used to say... good luck all. | F | 40 | 2 weeks | 3/1/2009 | 2 | Insomnia | Horrible bitter taste that would NOT "rinse out" of my mouth | F | 47 | | 2/28/2009 | 3 | Insomnia | 1st day after taking the night before I felt, well, a bit like I was coming down from a pot high, very calm, but not all-together there. I slept fine the first night, but it did take me almost 2 hours to go to sleep. I woke up about an hour after I fell asleep, and felt wide awake, but as soon as I laid back down, I went right back to sleep. VERY vivid dreams on this stuff, some bad, but for the most part just vivid. In the following 5 days that I have taken Lunesta, I have woken up several times (about 5-7) every night. I don't feel rested in the AM (perhaps because I am waking up so often), and by about 4:30 PM I am spent and feel like I need a nap. The other night I had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner and they hit me HARD (I usually have a much higher tolerance to alcohol) and while I was pretty tipsy/on the cusp of being drunk, I craved more wine! I've read on other forums that if you mix Lunesta and alcohol, you can have a hard time stopping drinking (though I | Expensive and didn't work for me. | F | 31 | 5 days | 2/21/2009 | 1 | Could not sleep. | No sleep.
