Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | wakefulness -- difficulty falling back asleep |
| Dosage & duration: | | 10 mg taken once a week for the period of last 5 years |
| Other conditions: | | osteopenia |
| Other drugs taken: | | Boniva | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | I was able to go back to sleep after waking and then to get up in two hours without any grogginess or after effects. The sleep I had as a result of the pill was very restful. This drug allows you to take a pill in the early morning hours, go back to sleep and then get up at the normal time without any sort of hangover. It is wonderful. |
| Side effects: | | Better sleep. |
| Comments: | | Upon waking and not being able to return to sleep, one 10 mg dose of Sonata will return the patient to sleep. If used too frequently, I understand that the product will be ineffective. |
