For Insomnia "I took this for one week. It did not help me get to sleep at all. On the first night I was awake ALL NIGHT LONG. Second night I finally fell asleep at 3am. I had to start back on Seroquel to get to sleep at all. I have stopped taking Rozerem because by the 6th night I had an AWFUL headache. Tonight is night two without Rozerem and I am hoping that by the time I wake up tomorrow it will be out of my system and the headache will be gone."

For Insomnia "This must be one of the worst drugs I have ever taken for insomnia. One of the side effects is worsening of condition. They are not kidding! This particular side effect ocurred every time I have taken it for insomnia! My guess is that they are promoting it because it is not a CS....Works opposite for me. I would never recommend this!"

For Insomnia "I have been using this medication for over 10 years. It is horrible! I still got up at two or three in the morning with horrible stomach pains. The only way to get rid of it was to eat. I've gained tons of weight. Finally after researchIng Dr Ray Peat, I found out my insomnia was caused by a lack of sugar and salt and dairy. Nuts, avocados, beans, is what I added to my diet in 2004 when the insomnia started. According to that medical research, those food items really contribute to insomnia. By adding gelatin and dairy back in my diet I have not taking this medication for three months . And I got my sleep back after 13 years of insomnia.my weight is starting to come off. They need to warn people that this medication can cause weight gain"

For Insomnia "I've been on ramelteon for just a few days now. Insomnia has been leading to mental health issues again. I've been taking at least four other nighttime drugs such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen pm for so long to get a few hours of broken sleep. I was past the point of exhaustion. But so far, every night, I've been falling asleep pretty quickly but having horrible dreams. It is 3 am now and I'm wide awake again. Still undecided on effectiveness. Hopefully after a few more days it will be better, if I can suffer through the dreams."
Are you taking this medicine?

For Insomnia "WORST experience ever! Took pill as instructed, but it would just make me feel like sleep was about to begin and then I was hit with a bout of intense anxiety, this cycle repeated all night long. These horrible side effects ended about an hour before I was supposed to wake up. HORRIBLE experience, threw all the pills away the next morning, now my MD gave me Belsomra, just read reviews about the night terrors and sleep paralysis. Only thing that really works for me is valium or xanax but doctor keeps pushing these dance meds."
