User Reviews for Eszopiclone

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I tried Lunesta last year and couldn't stand the taste. Went back to Ambien, gained weight due to night eating episodes and decided to try lunesta again. I've discovered that if you takes lunesta with about 4 oz of orange juice, then sit up for a half hour so as to let the pill dissolve and the juice digest, there is no nasty taste the following morning. I have hopes for it. I haven't had a night time eating episode yet.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): While taking this medication, it increased my aggitation level. It made anger creep from around the corners and i would instantly snap on my husband. My dreams worsened and became more vivid. My doctor had to immediately take me off this medication.. Scary stuff!!

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I have been taking this medication for about a year. It puts me to sleep every night about 15 minutes after I have taken it. I do have dreams which I hadn't had in years, they are not bad nightmares, just dreams about my stresses of life. I feel so much better now that I take it, I wake up feeling great and ready to jump into my workout programs and life. Before Lunesta I was tired, groucy, hard to get along with, now that I am catching up on my lost sleep of many years I feel wonderful!

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I have been taking Lunesta for about a month now. So far, it has helped with my insomnia. I get tired within 15 to 20 minutes of taking the pill. However, I've noticed a definate weight gain since I've been taking Lunesta. Also, the medication makes me very swollen and leaves a bad taste in my mounth. If it weren't for the weight gain and swelling, this drug is one of the better treatments I've tried for insomnia.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I just wanted to say that i have been on Lunesta over 2 years. Works like a charm, exactly as advertised. For me anyways. As far as the taste goes, no longer bothersome for me. Someone told me ginger works great for taking the taste away, give it a whirl if that is all you hate about it. I love it, saved my life.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I've taken Lunesta for a year and as a night shift nurse I'm able to take 3mg and sleep solidly for 5-6 hours while the sun is shining outside. When I wake I'm ready and refreshed for another 12 hour overnight shift. The funny taste goes away after a while and is worth the benefit of a good sleep. I recommend taking it on a relatively empty stomach then jump in the sack in a cool room and close your eyes try to calm your breathing then let the sleep come to you. A good pair of comfortable earplugs may help too.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I have been taking Lunesta for over 3 years now. Unfortunately I can't take Ambien due to heart palpitations and other side effects. The cost of Lunesta just went up for me to $205 for a 30 day supply. I can't afford it anymore and I don't know what I'm going to do. It's the only thing that helped me sleep after dealing with insomnia for over 20 years. I no longer notice the taste in the morning and I can get up in the middle of the night and then fall right back to sleep. No sleepwalking or anything to report either. Just refreshing sleep.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): This medication has a horrible aftertaste, kind of the like the effect Altoids has in your mouth, but a harsh chemical taste thats last for a very long time and makes everything taste horrible even purified water. I took the pill about 9pm last night and the taste finally went away about 11am this morning. My dreams were vivid as well but not too pleasant. I wil not take this medication again.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I have used Lunesta for five years now, and I am so glad. I have been a chronic insomniac for the entire time due to anxiety and depression from my husband's long illness and death (PTSS), and Post Menopausal Syndrome that hit the same time my husband died. Just ghastly. Most physical and mental symptoms are gone now, but I still can not sleep or rest without this pill and I have tried and still do practice all the recommended actions (like a cool room; don't eat after five in the afternoon, etc.). If your stomach is even half full at bedtime, it does not work nearly as well. I do not experience any adverse physical or mental symptoms, including any bad taste using this medication. Getting enough rest is so important to me.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I've been on Lunesta for about 7 months and it's made a huge difference. I can actually sleep. The taste hasn't bothered me as much as it seems to bother some people. I take it and then read for a while and often the next day I can't remember what I read, but now that I'm used to it, that doesn't bother me either. My doctor said it's not safe to take it for an extended period of time and tried to switch me to Rozerem, but that didn't work at all, and I insisted on the Lunesta.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): Started taking this drug after having trouble dealing with anxiety at bedtime, and I honestly could not have asked for a more effective drug or excellent results. Unfortunately finally built up resistance to 3mg; at that point I had to stop taking it and did so the wrong way. Went cold turkey and did not sleep for three nights in a row even though I was taking Benadryl x3 and a Rozerem. Been trying different non-sedadting (hypnotic/non-benzodiazepine) sleep aids and have found nothing close to Lunesta yet.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I've been taking Lunesta for almost a year and it has worked wonders for me. I make sure I take it on an empty stomach and I make sure I have at least 7 hours of sleep. I do get that weird taste in my mouth but I don't mind, it's really not that bad. I have a toddler and I am able to wake up in the middle of the night without a problem. If I do need to wake up in the middle of the night I am alert and then I am able to fall right back to sleep. Overall I've had a great experience.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): YES, Lunesta 3mg provides me GREAT REST! It seems to not have the tolerance problems that Ambien has. I've used Lunesta for over a year (when required). It did give me metal mouth taste but after a while I began to look for that taste when drinking water during the night. I guess some will adjust to this side effect. Other side effects, a hearty appetite, hunger for sweets, loss some libido but still tolerable. The bad news is the maker was granted an extension to its exclusive rights till 2015 which means no generics till then and the highest co-pay every month! It's the high price of a quality nights sleep.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I take lunesta occasionally with help sleeping and twice I have total memory loss of things before sleep.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): Works great with falling asleep, but still wake up 2-3 times per night. Lunesta works better than Ambien. Ambian only helper for 3 nights, and then My insomnia returned. I have experienced no side effects, and have been taking Lunesta for about a year and a half as I have insomnia 2-3 nights per week.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): The blue one prescribed to me was 3mg. Swallow as soon as it hits tongue or the taste will haunt you several hours. This pill shuts me down fast and only one was needed but it made my shoulder and elbow joints ache the next day.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): Worked great with sleep but the awful taste in my mouth never went away!

Lunesta (eszopiclone): It worked great for me. I was having insomnia issues due to anxiety. I sure am happy I did not have to take a different medication like Xanax.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I have been on Ambien for about 8 months but I had started to become tolerant to it. Sometimes I would take it and it would knock me out other times I can take it and still be wide awake until 4am. My doctor recommended that I try Ambien CR but my insurance won't approve it until I've tried Lunesta. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!! It literally had no effect on me whatsoever. Tylenol PM would have done a better job! I followed the instructions to the tee, didn't eat a fatty meal and took it on an empty stomach. Has anyone else had this result? I need to switch back to Ambien!

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I take 3mg of Lunesta before bedtime. I have no bad after taste. I wake feeling refreshed. I awake some nights but I'm able to fall back to sleep and still feel refreshed when I awake. I do wish the price would come down.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): Lunesta 3mg for me is the best I have ever taken, for almost a year and half. Had no bad side effects. Gives you 8 hours of sleep and you do not wake up tired. Also has helped out my anxiety at night before bed. I rate it 10. I wish Lunesta would make a new pill for anxiety for during the day, and not for sleep. I'm happy.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): Ive taken many sleeping medications, Lunesta worked the best for the longest (7 months i think). i take a break from it for a few months and take something else that doesnt work as well, then i go back to lunesta, just to give my body a break from it... all in all, good stuff. i like the taste- i know its kickin' in and im about to fall asleep!

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I've been taking Lunesta for about a month and cannot get any rest. Not sure if I need increase in the dosage. Yes, I have the bad taste. I take on empty stomach and stay up and just wait to go to sleep. Doesn't happen.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): I've been taking Lunesta 2mg for the past year. It is very effective. I fall asleep within the hour and feel rested in the morning. It also relaxes me. The sour taste went away completely after a month of use. The best if you take it on an empty stomach. The only thing I'm concerned is that my body will get used to it and then it won't help. For now its still a life saver for me after suffering from insomia since I was a teenager. My doctor doesn't recommend that I take it for more then three times a week because I'm still young, however I have no choice and have to take it every night. I can't sleep otherwise. I have kids to take care of and a full time job. I MUST sleep.

Lunesta (eszopiclone): This medicine worked fine for me to help me get to sleep and stay asleep, but it gave me a terrible taste in my mouth, made everything taste like soap. Maybe useful if you're really trying to lose weight, and nothing else helps. Food tasting like soap definitely makes it hard to enjoy eating.
