Talk:Eszopiclone

I'd like to see some information about side effects, abuse, and effects in general.

At first I thought I was the only one misspelling Lunesta as "Lunestra," but it seems I'm not. Is it within Wikipedia's rules to set up a redirect page from a misspelling? If so, uh, I don't know how to do it... McGehee 02:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unpleasant Taste

I tried Lunesta once; when they say unpleasant taste, it truly is horrid, to the extreme. This being only a personal experience of mine, I didn’t like the taste (obviously); I know it may seem silly but I wanted to get my taste ‘corrected’ immediately, so I ate some food, checking to see if it was better, but I scarcely ‘touched’ my food at all as it was the worst 'food' I’ve ever tasted. Instead, I slept it off; Still had a little after taste in the morning but never took Lunesta again. Joey 08:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Joey

That's odd. I just swallow the pill and don't taste it at all. McGehee 02:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- maybe it does just depend on the person.. for me, its extremely unpleasant. So bad that it distracts me from falling asleep, as I usually have to get something to wash my mouth out. But this still usually ends up unsuccessful and the taste is still there.. so those of us who already have a hard enough time falling asleep, now just have to do so with a rancid taste in their mouth. My taste buds would even be thrown off in the morning when I wake up and eat breakfast. Terrible side effect.

Canker sores

I have been taking Lunesta for 6 months. I believe it is causing canker sores on my tongue. I get canker sores, sometimes several, about every week. Since this medication has such an acidic taste, I wonder if it is causing this. Has anyone else experienced this?
