Lunesta Review Summary

Sleep disorders can cause many problems and Lunesta is one prescription medication ready to fight sleepless nights and send you off to dreamland. Lunesta is appreciated by those reviewers who have used it and they cite many reasons to use this sleeping aid, such as the effectiveness in falling asleep and the lack of any noticeable side effects. Asked to make a few comments about Lunesta and reviewers say things like “Using This Product has Changed my Life” and they claim it’s “A Good Option When Other Sleep Methods Have Failed”. Could there be anything bad to say about Lunesta? About the only consistent con with this product is the taste, as pointed out by the comment “Helps With Sleep but Leaves Terrible Taste in Mouth”. But a little bad flavor is a small price to pay for a restful night of sleep and reviewers rank Lunesta among the better Prescription Medicines for those who suffer from inadequate sleep.

Using this product has changed my life.

I was diagnosed with Lupus 5 years ago. I have had sleep problems all my life. When I don't sleep my lupus gets worse, and when my Lupus gets worse I can't sleep. That starts a snowball effect that sends me spinning out of control healthwise. My doctor first put me on ambien CR which worked for a little... read full review »

Helps with sleep but leaves terrible taste in mouth

NOV

2007

Lunesta really does help as far as helping sleep, however if I took it and stayed up for longer than 30 minutes I was wide awake all night so it's effectiveness can be overidden. It is fairly expensive and leaves a horrible metallic taste in your mouth that is hard to get rid of

This product is a good long-term medication option for those who have sleep disorders. I have periodic limb movement, and have tried just about every otc and prescription strength meds without any success. They either didn't work at all, or caused serious side effects. With Lunesta, I am able to fall asleep quickly. I still wake up several times during the night, but the number of times I wake up has been reduced by half compared to taking no medication.

The first several nights, you may feel groggy the following morning, but this should dissipate. I have no side effects with this...

same class drug as Ambien

Having Trouble Sleeping

APR

2008

Lunesta is one of the new class f sleep aids such as Ambien or Rozarem. I suffer from sleeping problems, and my doctor suggested Ambien. It does help in sleeping, but I gave it a 3 out of 5 for two reasons. The first is that I noticed I had to increase the dosage each week to have the same effect (tolerance building). Secondly, the cost of the medicine is very high. If you do not have any health insurance, this is probably not the right medication for you. I think overall the medicine is great for the short term, but if you are going to use long term, Lunesta is probably not the right choice.... read full review »

This is a pretty good sleeping medicine, The main problem is the aftertaste the next day, it is really annoying, but I've lost weight because I don't want to eat in the morning anymore so I guess that's a good thing. I take this medicine a lot and it does help me fall asleep.

Helps with Sleep

This helps when I can't sleep. However, it takes a while to work. Only take it if you can get 7-8 hours of sleep or more.

Lunesta does everthing that it is suppose to do. Helps you to relax and fall asleep and then helps you stay asleep for at least 6 to 8 hours. Since I am an insominac, I have tried many different sleep aids, including over the counter and prescription medicines. Lunesta is the best precription Medicine ever.
