"doctor warned me it tasted bad.  understatement.  horrible!  numbs my mouth but is tolerable.  noticed huge difference the next day.  mood is great but i slept for 12 hours after first taking it.  i&#039;m sure my body will get used to it and that will stop happening.  i&#039;m supposed to take it twice a day but can&#039;t unless i want to sleep 24 hours a day.  i expect to take it twice daily once my body adjusts.  no other side effects except taste and sleep.  didn&#039;t have to use lunesta for first time in months."
