Hey Cam and Nance:
I used Sonata occasionally over a two-year period for occasional insomnia and found it to be an exceptionally effective medication. Then, one day, I found myself spiralling into a panic attack and even two Sonata capsules (10 mg. each) were ineffective. I went a whole week sleeping less than 8 hours total, until Xanax broke the cycle- wherepon I fell into a deep depression which lasted two months and was finally counteracted by my current Celexa/Remeron cocktail.
I still have about half a bottle of Sonata left but haven't tried it since my "adventure". I wonder if I just built up a tolerance to it, and if so, after not taking any for 8 months, will it work again? The brain is such a tricky thing (as if you didn't know that already:))
