> Still need help with the Ambien alt. Sonata sleep problem. My sleep doc has me taking 10 mg. Ambien one night, the next night 10 - 20 mg. Sonata. I do not sleep on the Sonata night, I think it is Ambien rebound. So he has added 5 mg. Ambien on the Sonata night. On the Sonata+Ambien nights, my experience has been that I get up about 15 times each night in my sleep and basically rip the house apart. In the morning I find all kinds of surprises that I did in my sleep such as breaking my CD player, writing checks for large amounts, eating, etc. However, I have not taken them together at bedtime. I have always taken the Sonata first, waited to see if I would sleep (I won't for anything), then gotten up and taken the Ambien. Could this order of taking medicine have anything to do with it? Have any of you had any luck with alternating Ambien with anything, or do you rebound on alternate nights? Thanks for any ideas.

Have a look at this very recent thread

It describes some views about perceptual side effects on the "Z-sleepers". (Ignore the harsh words in that thread!)
