Zaleplon "Sonata is useless. Even when the dose is bumped up to 20 mg. Skip this one and just go for the Ambien."

Zaleplon "This drug is garbage and should be taken off the market. Doesn't work, keeps you up all night when you have to work a 12 hr shift the next day. Causes RLS, migraine, and insomnia."

Zaleplon "5 mg Sonata didn't do a thing. I think they're duds with little to no active ingredients."

"Absolutely useless. Does nothing. Literally nothing. If your doctor wants to prescribe you this rubbish, just ask them for anything else."

Zaleplon "Started with 10 mg, did not work, went to 20 mg, still wake up after 4 hours. Hate not sleeping. Hopefully going back to Ambien, even though I wake up and snack. At least I sleep."

"The drug works for 3-5 hours for me. I only use it when I wake in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep. As a senior citizen, the 5 mg works well enough."

"I've been taking 10 for a month. They get me to sleep for 2 hours, then I'm up, fall back asleep like every hour. If it's 5, I'll stay up 'til 7, take a 5, and go back to sleep for a couple of hours."
