"i&#039;m a chronic insomniac and have tried just about every medicine and remedy available. lunesta 3mg works the best for me although after 10 days i no longer sleep through the night. i wake up after 3 or 4 hours but i can usually fall back asleep for another 3 hours which is better than not sleeping at all.  the only time i&#039;ve noticed the bad taste is when i cut a pill in half.  don&#039;t do it!"
