l'appel du vide Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I am extremely curious about Sonata (Zaleplon). It has an extremely short half life, which I like, and the maximum dose is 20mg. I usually need 20mg of Ambien for it to work but my psych will not prescribe that, but with Sonata there is a chance that 20mg could work for me. I rarely hear this medication discussed...any experiences at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is totally out of your system very quickly. It will not help you stay asleep. This med can be used for ppl who wake up at 3 am, cant fall back asleep and generalyl get up at 6am. thats how quick it clears.............. so i guess it depends on your issue.......

I agree.....I haven't used it, but according to everything I know about it, it works best for people who have trouble falling asleep, but doesn't work as well for sleep maintenance, due to it's extremely short half-life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l'appel du vide Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Guys that sounds perfect for me. I have no trouble staying asleep, the problem is just getting there. I think I might ask my psych for Sonata instead of Lunesta next time I see him. He prescribed me Ambien again and this time it made me sleep walk and sleep text. Kinda cool... But also not cool. LMFAO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
