I agree with chemist--alternating between Sonata and Ambien doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the reasons he mentioned. My pdoc feels Ambien can be used every night because it is not on the receptor for an excessively long time. I might be doing that, but the Ambien is a $50 monthly copay on my stupid insurance. I happen to alternate between Halcion, which is only a $10 copay on my insurance, and Benadryl, which is obviously very cheap also. The Halcion frankly works much better; I do not believe the Benadryl would be doing an adequate job without the sleep/relaxation CD I use all night long. The reason for the sleep aids is that I take the MAOI Nardil, which gives me terrible insomnia.
