Do you have to be weaned off of Lunesta?
Hi
Lunesta (eszopiclone) is a sedative-hypnotic used for the treatment of insomnia. It is an effective medication for insomnia with good results.
There are a few patients who have this issue of some bitter taste after taking the medication, but this may vary from person to person. Taking the medication with some orange juice might circumvent this problem.
This drug belongs to the category of non-benzodiazepines, hence like all other medications in this category, on prolonged use it may lead to physical and psychological dependence.
If at any time you experience any kind of allergic reaction on taking Lunesta, you should immediately consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
