"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."

"Sonata doesn't seem to help me fall asleep. It does cause mild visual effects briefly, afterwards, I toss and turn a lot. Sometimes, the bed feels like it is being lifted and lowered."
