Vivian: Sonia, I think it might be a good idea to start you on some medication for your insomnia. It certainly caused you a lot of stress last time. However, I want to discuss this with your psychiatrist because he or she should know about these symptoms and might want to follow you more closely. How do you feel about that?

Sonia: Now that I've tried some medications, I am more comfortable with it. I would rather risk some side effects than go through those sleepless nights again! Sounds good to me.
