"i&#039;ve been using lunesta for almost a week now and it&#039;s wonderful!  it puts me to sleep relatively quickly (20 minutes as opposed to the several hours it usually takes).  it keeps me asleep 8 hours, sometimes longer if i don&#039;t have to work in the morning.  there is a bit of a &quot;nasty&quot; taste in the mouth in the morning but it isn&#039;t that bad and goes away after breakfast and teeth brushing.  also the first few days i was a little drowsy still after waking up probably because the medicine was still in effect and my body wasn&#039;t used to so much sleep at once.  now i wake up energized and i would definitely recommend this medicine to others!  a little pricey though."
