In reply to Re: Ambien vs. Sonata vs. Ativan for insomnia?, posted by BarbaraCat on January 31, 2002, at 17:23:03
To offset the insomnia, RLS, etc. effects of effexor, I have tried Sonata and Klonopin, and currently take Ativan. I am very sensitive to the effects of benzos, etc., so all doses have been small.
My experience:
Sonata was ok as a sleep med, but it made me depressed.
Klonopin worked but was too long acting--felt groggy in the morning.
Ativan seems to be better for me. I take a tiny dose--1/4 of a mg--to offset the insomnia, RLS, etc. effects of effexor. It helps me fall asleep and stay asleep, but wears off by morning.
