"i started having terrible sleeping issues due to some life events. i saw the commercials on tv about it and talked to my doctor about it. plus i read it didn&#039;t have the crazy side effects of other sleeping pills. it came across as perhaps a lighter sleeping pill. i got a prescription for 3mg and the first night i took it, about 5minutes later i got this terrible taste in my mouth, very bitter. for the ladies, id describe it as having fingernail polish on and biting your nail, that taste. i grabbed some spearmint candy i had and sucked on one of those and that helped so much! by the time i finished the 2nd one i was almost out of it and completely asleep. i did that for a week but now i dont even taste it anymore. been using for 3 years now!"
