| 3 | Insomnia | Anxiety, migraines, bad taste, chest pain | Lunesta worked ok for my sleep, but the side effects are not worth it. I have never had anxiety and now I'm having panic attacks and severe anxiety throughout the day. Also, get a horrible migraine after taking it and bad chest pains. | F | 39 | 60 days 3mg 1X day | 8/27/2016 | 5 | Insomnia | Used generic brand Lunesta manufactured by Teva and I did not sleep too good at night and noticed weight gain and my depression had increased...switched to another generic brand made by Orchid..I fell asleep immediately at night and woke up feeling rested and energetic.... | The first six months I was fortunate enough to have bought the original brand of Lunesta but my insurance would only cover generic so there is a big difference between the both and the generic by orchid works like the original for me..goodnight | F | 50 | 1 years 3mg | 8/10/2016 | 1 | Sleeplessness | this caused a psychotic episode that included paranoia, unable to communicate properly and I ended up mud-diagnosed in a psych hospital. Mixed with marijuana and domestic violence the effects heightened. | F | 28 | 1 days 1 | 5/14/2016 | 5 | Insomnia | Changed my life after years of sleep problems I fall asleep easily and sleep 6 -7 blissful hours if I do wake for bathroom fall asleep again I hope others find such relief | F | 70 | 1 years 1 mg | 4/9/2016 | 3 | Occasional insomnia | With the brand name Lunesta no side effects. Generic caused horrible depression. | Stay away from the generic, there are better solutions to sleep problems then drugs. | M | 58 | 10 days 30 | 3/26/2016 | 1 | Insomnia | DISGUSTING taste in mouth that lingers! | Was taking Lunesta years ago, it helped T first but I grew a tolerance to it very quickly and my god the horrendous taste it left in my mouth was so disgusting! | F | 39 | 1 years 1X night | 3/8/2016 | 2 | chronic insomnia | The drug does not work if there's ANYTHING in my stomach, and about 25 minutes after taking Lunesta generic I have horrible food cravings that I simply cannot control. Thus, big weight gains. I am groggy in the morning, I awake several times at night to kick off the covers (I'm burning up), and about half the time the drug doesn't work for about 4 hours. I'm also beginning to suspect that Lunesta is contributing to brain fog and slowness to respond to questions, as well as loss of names and nouns from time to time. | There has GOT to be a better product to help me get to sleep. The side-effects of Lunesta have become very worrisome and I'm not really sleeping well; I never wake up refreshed. | F | 70 | 6 years 3mg 1X day | 2/23/2016 | 2 | Insomnia | Bad taste in mouth next day | I would take lunesta about 10 minutes before bed. Did not help me sleep at all would take hours to fall asleep then I would wake up anywhere from 4-8 times a night. | F | 24 | 6 days 1mg | 2/6/2016 | 2 | Insomnia | First couple of days I took it I felt refreshed the next morning. Minus the minor bad taste in mouth, I was so happy I found a drug that worked. Fast forward a few days and I had extreme nausea and loss of appetite at the same time every night. Also, HORRIBLE GAS that I was unaware I even had. Would smell so bad people had to walk away and I was unaware it was even me doing it until it happened wherever I went for a few days at the same time. Have never been more embarrassed in my life. Have to stop it. | Can cause terrible, uncontrollable and silent flatulence. | F | 25 | 8 days 1mg 1X day | 12/3/2015 | 5 | insomnia | None | Helped me very minimum Helped me very much. Tried many things nothing helped like Lunesta. | F | 55 | 2 months lowest dos | 10/19/2015 | 3 | insomia | Depression, anxiety, suicidal ways, sleepy, | Got me into some troubles but now its a must i no longer feel any emotions due to drug abuse and anti psycotics This gets you through hell | M | 24 | 5 months 7 | 10/2/2015 | 3 | back injury | Terrible taste & water intensifies it. After 20 minutes I get hungry. It takes me long to fall asleep & I wake up anywhere from 4-8 times a night. | F | 46 | 8 years 2 mg | 8/17/2015 | 1 | To get accustomed to new CPAP | Dizziness, fainting feeling, thought I was having stroke. One eye dilated. Doc ordered CT scan suspecting bleed. Thankfully positive scan. Deduced it was eszopiclone and stopped two nights ago. Now I cannot fall asleep where before I could, albeit for minutes at a time due to sleep apnea. I am really pissed that this drug can be prescribed, but apparently it works for others. I am still experiencing the daytime effects and hoping they stop soon. Otherwise I'm Googling class action lawsuit(s). | M | 49 | 26 days 3MG 1X day | 7/24/2015 | 2 | To remain asleep | I suffer from bipolar depression and anxiety disorder both are very controlled with a small cocktail Madison's after taking Lunesta for eight days I became bracingly depressed and anxious and my wife noticed it after five or so days and I am calling my doctor and stopping the medication. No thoughts of suicide but feeling bad | It did not seem to make an appreciable difference in my sleep cycle and improved very minimally | M | 52 | 8 days 3 mg | 7/4/2015 | 1 | interrupted sleep | Brand name lunesta was great, i no complaints. generic lunesta makes me feel drugged and hungover in am,anxiety, daytie sleepiness, racing thoughts,depression & more | Generic makes me feel terrible. Insurance wont pay for brand name | F | 68 | 1 years 3 mg | 5/8/2015 | 1 | sleep | Psychosis, visual and auditory hallucinations. I attacked a staff member while recovering from surgery and have no memory of it. Hallucinations discerned by my behavior. | A dangerous drug that should be taken off the market. | F | 35 | 1 days 1X day | 4/29/2015 | 5 | Couldn't fall or stay asleep . | None | A God send | M | 38 | 1 days 3mg | 4/26/2015 | 2 | insomnia | Terrible taste in my mouth, food tastes funny, ringing in my ears that is constant and sounds like a million crickets, headaches, vivid scary dreams, hearing and feeling things that aren't there. | I took Ambien before this and was doing some pretty scary things that I didn't remember. The Lunesta helps me to go to sleep but I still wake up 6-8 times per night with difficulty getting back to sleep. I would take it and go to bed and felt like someone was standing beside me, or crawling over me, bright light that would flicker occasionally. | F | 56 | 4 months 1X day | 4/21/2015 | 3 | PTSD | None | Lunesta (the brand name drug) worked very well for me for about 5 years. I took 1mg about 3-4x/month when I really needed to sleep well. However, my latest bottle is the generic, and it doesn't work AT ALL. With the generic, I have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, vivid dreams that I remember, etc. I had NONE of these issues with the brand name drug. I'd rate the brand name a 5 and the generic a 1. I'm trying to get in touch with my insurance company to see if they'll cover a bottle of the brand name drug. | F | 37 | 5 years 1mg 1X W | 4/7/2015 | 2 | Insomnia | Brand name Lunesta works much better than the generic. I took the brand name Lunesta for 6+ years with good success. A few months ago, I switched to generic when it became available, and it just does not work well at all. | F | 37 | 5 months 3 mg | 3/4/2015 |
