" I have tried it but it didn't work. The only thing that puts me to sleep is Xanax. Other benmzodiazipines also work for me like Ativan. All the other sleeping drugs like Rozerm, etc just never seem to cut it for me. I hope it works for you. "

" I have tried it. It only works if yu are relaxed and receptive to sleep, and then notyalways. Ambien used to make me sleep if I had 10mg, not 5mg. I didnt like the side effects. BUT remember this, sonata IS BETTER THAN NOTHING! "

" I participated in the final FDA trials for Sonata and while it didn't work for me (and at some point I supposedly was on it, not the placebo), I made $1200. It was nice that my insomnia could at least make me some money! The only thing that is helping me at least for the time being is half a trazadone and half a klonopin.

" I think the reason why it doesn't work is because the mg is so low.

When I was taking it I never felt any difference.

Sorry it didn't work for you.

" Hi. I have tried Sonata and it didn't work fo rme. Lunesta worked but left me feeling nauseous. Ambien, at 10 mg makes me feel dizzy and more depressed. When I take it, I cannot sleep for another 5 days when I stop. Try melatonin, whic you can get in any health food store. "
