I've noticed the taste - and as far as film coated taking longer to dissolve maybe this is why my insomnia is a thousand times worse than it was before, when I was on the sugar coated ones?Most sugar coated medications have been replaced with a film or enteric coating, simply because some people are sensitive to sugar.
