In reply to Lunesta.....bad taste....anyone else?, posted by blondemomints on April 20, 2005, at 10:48:08
> OMG, I was soooo looking forward to Lunesta. Sounded like the "miracle sleeping pill" no long term contraindications, etc. What a let down for me personally. I took my first 3mg and within 15 minutes, I had the worst taste in my mouth I had ever tasted. I couldn't get rid of the taste!
I'm sorry to hear that you had such an unpleasant taste reaction. For me, it's a light metallic taste, it's actually kinda an indication of when the medication is starting to work at all because Lunesta is much more subtle of a medication than Ambien in my body. So far it hasn't bothered me too much, but it is a little odd, and seems to be one of the most common side effects.
> The next day I was still tasting it and my eyes were extremely dry feeling.
For me, the taste lasted only for the duration of the medication's onset; but I guess from other reports this also is varying :/
