i have a script for sonata i recieved a few months back for my intermittent insomnia. The doc didn't want to prescribe valium because it would deprive me of my REM sleep and I would wake up feeling groggy.
Zaleplon is a fast acting sedative hypnotic, which leaves your system in four hours or so, allowing you to experience REM sleep and wake up feeling refreshed. The first few times I used it, it worked GREAT. Woke up refreshed, on time, not at all groggy.
However, I have been using it on and off for two months and the past couple times it has not worked at all. I must have developed some sort of serious tolerance to it. This happened slowly, I noticed about a few weeks ago that I would wake up after about 4 hours and have a little trouble getting back to sleep...then the past couple times it did nothing. I ended up taking 40 mg over the course of the night and sleep never came.
That made me sad and grouchy the next day.
Yes the tolerence is very quick acting. You cant take it more then a week to be on the safe side. Probably every 3 days you wouldnt devolop a tolerence either
