AB  - CASE  STUDYAt  her  annual  physical  examination,  a  53-year-old  middle  school  teacher  complains  that  she  has  been  having  difficulty  falling  asleep,  and  after  falling  asleep,  she  awakens  several  times  during  the  night.  These  episodes  now  occur  almost  nightly  and  are  interfering  with  her  ability  to  teach.  She  has  tried  various  over-the-counter  sleep  remedies,  but  they  were  of  little  help  and  she  experienced  “hangover”  effects  on  the  day  following  their  use.  Her  general  health  is  good,  she  is  not  overweight,  and  she  takes  no  prescription  drugs.  She  drinks  decaffeinated  coffee  but  only  one  cup  in  the  morning;  however,  she  drinks  as  many  as  six  cans  per  day  of  diet  cola.  She  drinks  a  glass  of  wine  with  her  evening  meal  but  does  not  like  stronger  spirits.  What  other  aspects  of  this  patient’s  history  would  you  like  to  know?  What  therapeutic  measures  are  appropriate  for  this  patient?  What  drug,  or  drugs,  (if  any)  would  you  prescribe?
