15 years is a long time on zolpiderm. Why did you change?

I always just drank it fast with a sweet drink. The taste shouldn’t linger

Incredibly bitter
But I miss the taste. I was addicted to it in the 90s. Not been allowed it since (doc prescribed it for too long)
Wish I could have it as I have terrible nightmares, and on that I didn't remember dreams.
It is a very lingering taste though

It's bitter as fuck.
I took one tonight but I usually take more so it's not worked well.
No, the taste never improves but thanks to its addictive nature, you start to hate it less.

I hated the taste yet all these years on I crave it badly
Certainly addictive

YANBU, it tastes disgusting. I was on it for years, not any more, thankfully.

It's awful and for me the taste lingered all through the next day as well. Horrible metallic taste. Thankfully I've got past the really awful bouts of insomnia and just have it occasionally (as demonstrated by posting at 3am)

I was the same I could taste it for hours after I woke up. Bleugh.

Such wonderful sleep though....!

Is this Zimovane the sleeping tablet you're talking about?

It does taste foul. I always thought it was deliberate, so if a child picked them up and ate them, they'd spit it out. Just my own musing on the subject.

It isn't nice at all. I found drinking it with irn bru of all things disguised the taste. Especially as the tablet gave a tinny taste too, so it took the edge off.

Vile drug. Used to make me have a dry mouth for ages after waking.

PlainSpeakingStraightTalking · 02/02/2019 07:14

Its to stop your nearest and dearest grinding it up and overdosing you ….. thats why its vile tasting

I like the bitter taste that comes on about an hour after taking it, as it's a sign it's working and I'll get to sleep soon after!

Someone once told me the taste is actually an olfactory hallucination caused by the drug, lots of people get it but it's not a real 'taste' just the brain perceiving it as real!
