About Zaleplon - Generic Sonata / Starnoc
Zaleplon - Generic Sonata / Starnoc is a sedative/hypnotic, mainly used for insomnia. It is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic from the pyrazolopyrimidine class.

Zaleplon is one of few sleep medications which have been found to not cause an increase in road traffic accidents, thus demonstrating a much higher safety profile than many other hypnotics currently on the market.

Zaleplon Usage, Directions, Indication and Instructions
Zaleplon comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken as needed at bedtime or after trying unsuccessfully to fall asleep. Do not take Zaleplon with or shortly after a heavy, high-fat meal. Zaleplon may not work well if it is taken with high fat foods. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Zaleplon exactly as directed.
You will probably become very sleepy soon after you take Zaleplon and will remain sleepy for some time after you take the medication. Plan to go to bed right after you take Zaleplon and to stay in bed for 7 to 8 hours. Do not take Zaleplon if you will be unable to go to bed right away and remain asleep for 7 to 8 hours after taking the medication. If you continue to walk around after taking Zaleplon, you may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, problems with memory and coordination, or hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist). If you get up too soon after taking Zaleplon, you may experience memory problems.
You should be sleeping well within 7 to 10 days after you start taking Zaleplon. Call you doctor if your sleep problems do not improve during this time, if they get worse at any time during your treatment, or if you notice any changes in your thoughts or behavior.

Zaleplon Storage
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
Keep Zaleplon in a safe place so no one else can take it accidentally or on purpose. Keep track of how many capsules are left so you will know if any are missing.

Zaleplon Testimonials
This stuff knocked me out in about 30 minutes, while Lunesta is not so dramatic -- one night I was not able to sleep right away even with the Lunesta. Zaleplon definitely seems like the stronger drug. I have not tried Ambien. After I got back on a normal sleep schedule, it was easy to quit the Zaleplon. Reviewed by: Andrew

I take 10mg before bed, works well, very mild. I try not to take it for more than 3 nights, then take a night or two off, so that it doesn't lose its effectiveness, and to limit my withdrawal symptoms. Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep on those off-nights, but Zaleplon is habit-forming and I don't want the symptoms to get severe. Reviewed by: Emily

The generic product is able to be manufactured at a fraction of the cost, as there is little or no cost associated with research and development. Many insurance plans encourage you to accept the generic version of a drug whenever it's medically safe.
