"&quot;wow&quot;!! that pretty well sums it up. i have been an ambien user for the past few years.  as much as i hate to admit it i found myself abusing the medication. even worse yet, i was sleep walking &amp; sleep cooking almost every night with huge holes in my memory. i asked my doctor for a sample of lunesta yesterday. he gave me the 3mg right from the start. the nasty taste hit my mouth within the first 15 minutes of taking it. i woke up 2x during the night due to an alarm on my dryer, but was able to fall right back to sleep. i did wake up with a horrible headache. not sure if it was from the lunesta or not. i will try again tonight and see what happens. i to would give this medication a 10 if it were not fo the nasty taste."
