> That would be perfect for me as I awaken the same and now take 5mg of valium to sleep sometimes don't and it's not addictive or controlled is it? Thanks Phillipa
Phillipa,
Like Lunesta, Ambien, etc., Sonata is a Schedule IV controlled drug, and it can be addictive and lead to physical and psychological dependence. It's not a silver bullet unfortunately. The only non-scheduled "new" sleep med that I'm aware of is Rozerem.
