insomnia
"I have taken Lunesta 3mg for around 6-7 years.  It takes about 45 minutes to make me start nodding off.  I had the metal taste when I first started using it but don't have any problem with that for years.  I got insomnia when I had a hysterectomy years back.  I use to take Trazodone and it worked great but gave me a headache every morning.  Be sure not to eat any snack near the time you take you take Lunesta that interferes with absorption and falling asleep time.  I think it might make me a little more depressed.  However, if i don't sleep I would be a raving loon!  Nothing worse then laying awake and you head won't shut-up.  I would like to be able to fall asleep without medication but it just doesn't happen without Lunesta."
