In reply to Is Sonata better than Ambien to initiate sleep?, posted by SLS on February 11, 2009, at 7:30:58
> In the world of benzodiazepines, some hypnotics are more useful to treat initial insomnia (trouble falling asleep) than sleep maintenance insomnia (trouble staying asleep).

> I was wondering if Sonata were better than Ambien for initial insomnia. Ambien is probably effective for both types of insomnia, but for tougher cases, perhaps a drug with stronger effects on initial insomnia is warranted.

I remember that though I think with each dose increase. Its been less than a week but a couple of nights never went to sleep. Do you have Parnate related insomnia still?
Also, did it ever feel like your response was totally dose related? in other words, I feel like crap in the morning, but great for the rest of the day after taking my meds.
Hope your great, by the way, you almost let me get my leg chewed off by a shark in social.
