Hi Linda. Welcome.

I think the general experience regarding Ambien (too early to tell about Sonata) has been that some people become tolerant to it, but it's not "addictive." It's also less likely to lead to tolerance than the benzos are, and it doesn't have the effects on sleep architecture that one sees with benzos. I don't know if it causes long-term EEG changes the way benzos can, but I doubt it.

I've been taking 20mg/night most nights for some time (the most I ever took it was a year), and it's always served me well. I definitely do much better with than without it, and better taking it nightly than trying to use it sometimes but not others.
