Lunesta Review: Loose sleep and money with Lunesta
 Lunesta is one of the more famous prescription sleep aids. It is advertised all over TV and generally can easily be obtained with a prescription from your doctor (which is a pain). Lunesta is not all that it is cracked up to be though, it does work for some people but not for everyone and that is precisely why you should not put too much faith in Lunesta.
The Lunesta Website is pretty slick and it contains all sorts of information about insomnia and Lunesta. There are pictures of people waking up from a long nights sleep and looking alive and refreshed and the entire website has a relaxing calm feeling to it. But is it worth it? There is a lot of hassle that goes into Lunesta, not only do you have to get a prescription from your doctor but you also have to pay the price for the Lunesta. So is it worth it?
How Lunesta Works
Lunesta works the same way that many other prescription sleep aids work. Lunesta targets a specific neurotransmitter in your brain that affects the release of a certain sleep chemical called GABA. Essentially you are telling your brain what to do by changing the signals that it is sending to your body. This kind of method can be very effective for some people but because you are dealing with such a sensitive part of the body (the brain), people see very different results. The best way to see how a product affects people is by looking at non-biased reviews on the web. Here are some of the things I found.
What other people have to say about Lunesta
People had a couple different complaints about Lunesta, ranging from serious complaints to minor irritations. Some people said that Lunesta made them feel depressed, paranoid and very sick. Others complained of headaches and even severe weight gain.
One very common complaint had to do with the horrible taste associated with Lunesta. Now it is not uncommon for a medicine to have a gross taste, but it seems like the Lunesta taste is so bad that people cannot get it out of their mouths for days. This can be avoided; you do not have to deal with a horrible tasting pill in order to get a good nights sleep.
Aside from people that took Lunesta and experienced side effects, there were also a lot of people that took the product and said it had absolutely no effect at all. Nothing bad (aside from the taste) and nothing good. A lot of people also said that they managed to get a couple hours of sleep and then the effects wore off quickly.
On the plus side, Lunesta is not nearly as addicting as some of the other prescription sleep aids like Ambien.
Lunesta Conclusion
Lunesta is a bothersome drug. You have to talk to your doctor before getting it and then it might not even work for you. It tastes horrible and can have some pretty severe side effects. On top of that, it only works for about half of the people that use it. Seems like an easy choice to me.

few minutes after awakening and a little mouth wash makes it
go away. People that wake 2 hours after taking it are probably not taking enough. I\'ve been an insomniac my entire
adult life, I am 49 now and in the last 2 years I have begun
to live normally. Thanks to the makers of Lunesta
To the points it still tries to make, I can agree that Lunesta may not be for everyone. My doctor first had me try Rozerem. That wasn't quite right for me, so then we tried Lunesta next. Lunesta turned out to be perfect. Its really given me my sleep back beautifully. I grateful very much for it.
As for side effects, the only thing I've experienced is the 'metaly' taste at times. For me, avoiding it is easy. The metaly taste comes from allowing the pill to rest on your tongue/taste buds as you go to take the pill. I'd often pop the pill in (like any pill), then get a glass of water and swallow. With Lunesta, I just have my water ready first, then toss the tiny pill in and take it immediately. And do remember, not everyone experiences the side effect anyways. My brother was on Lunesta before myself, and he's never had the metaly taste.
And lastly, as for having to go to your doctor to get it being some sort of hassle, I'm really not sure what to say to that. I myself would never imagine trying sleep aids, or any prescriptions, without the advice/guidance of my doctor. To me, its not a hassle, its a necessity. I prefer trusting my health to my doctor of many years over a hack website.
Hello.
I'm echoing the "metallic taste" aspect first. I've been on it for two weeks now and that taste was apparent a great deal for the first few days, it is minor now. And like Marion, a little mouth wash helps clear it. For me, the taste is pretty much gone for the day.
As for resting on the tongue, I don't do that, I pop it in my mouth and immediately drink water. I still get the taste.
I do wake up several times a night however and do not get 7 - 8 hours sleep out of it. To caveat that, I started a sleep machine regime (sleep apnea) in November and the tweaking of the machine is not complete. That is probably what keeps waking me up.
I do not want to go on Ambien - addicting and wierd side-effects...
Good luck.
