Rozerem - Still No Sleep
posted by JO on 21 Jun 2006 at 10:58 pmMy doctor prescribed Rozerem. It had not effect on sleepless nights. No wonder! It's not habit-forming.

| Rozerem Still No Sleep |

| I have tried Ambien and Rozerem. Both make me sleepy but don't allow me to actually fall asleep. Once I doze off I too wake up often. Does anyone have any other suggestions? |
| Rozerem Just Didn't Work For Me |

| Rozerem gave me a sleepy feeling, but actually made my insomnia worse! It gave me an agitated, restless leg feeling- a feeling I've never had before on any other medication. It was horrible because I felt tired like I wanted to sleep, but couldn't. When I did go to sleep on it, I would wake up frequently throughout the night. |

| Rozerem And Total Insomnia |
| posted by Pamela on 03 Sept 2007 at 2:01 am |
| I can fall asleep with no problem but wake up several (5 or more) times a night and I stay exhausted throughout the day. My doctor recommended Rozerem. Right now it is 4:00 am on a Monday and I have literally not slept at all since I started taking Rozerem Friday night at 8:00 pm. Totally exhausted but wide awake. No sleep, no dreams for 3 nights. It's horrible. The rest of the pills have gone down the toilet and my doctor will be hearing about this as soon as the office opens this morning. |
| Not The Best Sleeping Pill |

It works by mimicking the actions of melatonin. So it may be worth to try the melatonin supplement before spending the money on expensive Rozerem. It is not a “broad spectrum sleeping pill”.
It is not helpful for severe insomnia and for insomnia associated with anxiety, depression or other mood disorders. It is not an option when the problem is frequent awakening through the night, because it has a short half life of 1-2.5 hours. |

The PA I keep getting sent to (my neurologist is "too busy") is prescribing me absolutely useless medications, like Rozerem. Even after I told her that I often cannot sleep, and wake up throughout the night, and sometimes stay up for days, she gave it to me.
I thought that it would be something nice that would make me sleep as naturally as possible, but I should have known better than to believe that natural sleep is possible for me. More importantly, so should she... I've tried Rozerem three nights in a row, and have slept a total of 4 hours in the past 4 days. It makes me feel nice and calm, but I also feel absolutely wide awake. I'm trying to get in touch with my neurologist right now. This is ridiculous! |
