I switched from Lunesta to Ambien because of that bad taste in my mouth thing.

Yeah my husband now takes Ambien for the same reason. I'm glad Unisom did the trick for me. It really works, even when I battle insomnia. It's so cheap, too.

I take something called Simply Sleep (actually the generic Target brand). It's Tylenol PM without the Tylenol. One does the trick for me.

Janet, that's diphenhydramine - its the same thing as benadryl.
Unisom sleep gels are also diphenhydramine.
Generic diphenhydramine is probably cheaper, fyi.
Unisom sleep tabs are doxylamine succinate. Another antihistamine.

I take the sleep tabs. I actually take 1/2, they are scored and look like little blue footballs. I can't believe 1/2 does the trick for me when nothing else really worked. Benadryl (diphenydramine) does nothing for me. Trazadone only gives me crazy dreams. Lunesta was so awful side effect-wise, so I tried this and it's been wonderful. It works for my daughter when other prescription sleep meds wouldn't work either (she also tried Ambien, Trazadone and Lunesta). She also can take 1/2 of a Unisom tab.

If diphenhydramine works for you, then use it! I was just letting you know that you can just buy generic benadryl aka generic diphenhydramine. Just check the dosage.
