In reply to Ativan not working - HELP!, posted by kotsunega on July 22, 2003, at 8:40:42
Ativan is a tranquilizer, so it makes you calm, but it doesn't necessarily make you sleep.
Ambien and Sonata are sleeping pills. Some doctors are hesitant to prescribe them for long term use (they are often hesitent to prescribe Ativan, too), but depending on the cause of your insomnia they might do it.
I have insomnia from the Prozac I take, so my doctor has me on Sonata (I can't take Ambien).
Sweet dreams
