Lunesta and weight loss

Ok..hear me out...I have insomnia...and the doc put me on Lunesta..

It has a side effect of a nasty after taste in you mouth...(that lingers about 24 hours)

Ok I know we should not share this info...but the taste was so unplesent,,,,I dropped 3.6# in 2 days...(water and food tasted like straight up *%^&&%$)

just incase someone needed this info

I don't know about you but that sounds pretty good.  However I'm about ready to take a chainsaw to the rest of my fat and cut it off.  My arthritic knee is very angry with me right now......to the point that I'm on crutches and discussing knee replacement.

sorry about the knee my brother...if you do have surgery...Iknow the recovery will go smoother with your great weight loss...

Dude....I got a nasty joke for you...

Ok a gay guy goes into a Tattoo parlor..and says..."I wanna have a truck tattooed on my pecker..."

The tattoo guys says...'OK, What type of truck you want on it?"

the gay guy says.."Make it a 4x4...I'm planning one getting it muddy"

hope this made you smile

OH! Russ that was gross! But I am LMAO at it so what does that say about me?

Gonna burst your bubble, hon, sorry.  I took Lunesta for several months as a post-op.  I never had the bad aftertaste.  So, if someone is planning to ask for this from their doctor for this reason, it's not everyone who gets that. 

BTW, it does work great for sleep.  The only reason I don't need it now is I found an alternative.  I underwent hypnosis prior to my surgery for pain management and it also addressed my sleep problems. 

Another RX that works good for insomnia is
Trazadone or Generic of Deseryl and it is very inexpensive
about $15 a month.

Non habit forming and has been around a very long time

Zopiclone (Imovane) is a very popular sleeping pill in Canada and Europe, and it produces an unpleasant taste as a side-effect in a large percentage of users.  Eszopiclone (Lunesta) is the active stereoisomer of zopiclone -- it omits the isomer which doesn't produce sleepiness.  Unfortunately, it still produces a bad taste -- just as you describe -- in most people who take it.  I tried it pre-op, but it didn't help me lose weight back then, despite the bad taste!
