For Insomnia "Scary!!! Was only able to be on this drug for a few weeks. It gradually increased depression to such a degree that I almost admitted myself to the ER for depression watch. I've never felt depression like this. It peaked in the morning and let up by the afternoon. (3-4pm). It's now the third day since I took it and it is lifting more and more every day. Never again!"

For Insomnia "tried this one night. I had horrible nightmare, woke up with heart beating rapidly, took about 2 hours to get back to sleep, went straight into same nightmare. Repeated 4 times that night. Never will try again."

For Insomnia "Rozerem is the worst medication I have taken. No wonder why it's not prescribed often. To people who have anxiety, stay away from this useless drug. Spare yourself from panic attack and laryngoedema. Very dangerous medication."

For Insomnia "Medication did not keep me asleep. No trouble falling asleep, but awoke only a few hours later. Extreme exacerbation of depression occurred. Loss of appetite, loss of taste, olfactory hallucinations ( the smell of burning cigars?), occurred no explanation given. Only used the drug 2 nights but these experiences frightened me I will not use again."

For Insomnia "Just started this medication tonight. Have been up all night. I am sure it takes awhile to straighten out your sleep cycle. I will stay with it to see if it works down the road. Will be worth it not to be addicted to a medication to sleep. Also think I will try Valerian Root"

For Insomnia "I've been taking Rozerem for 2 years now. I take it every night. For the last three nights I didn't take it and my body rebelled. It is absolutely habit forming. My body went through withdrawals after not taking it for 3 nights in a row. I had crawlies in my legs, I was nauseated, a little shaky, had a rapid pounding heartbeat. It was awful. I took it again last night to see if that was causing the sensations in my body and I feel completely fine today. So, I know I had been withdrawing from it. I get an average of 5 hours of sleep on this medicine. It's the best my shrink can do without putting me on another benzo, which he won't do. I've taken every insomnia medicine they have for 24 years now, and Rozerem is the only one that lets me stay asleep for up to 5 hours after making me tired (and is not a benzo). Getting my insurance to cover it was like pulling teeth. I had to go through a medicine review panel for permission so I could take it."

For Insomnia "I tried Rozerem upon Doctors request. First night I was not sure if it worked or not. The next day I took a nap around 2pm and felt horrible after waking. Headache and utter exhaustion. Tried for the second night and was unable to sleep until 4am. It gave me a feeling of anxiety."

For Insomnia "I have been taking over-the-counter sleep aids and was up to taking double or triple or even more to be able to get some sleep, most of the time to no help. This is the first prescription of sleep medicines so I don't know if my experience will help. The first time I took Rozerem 8mg I slept all night and on and off all day, but I take so much pain medicines it could have interacted with them. So the next night I halved the dose and did not have the same side effects like the first dose. "

For Insomnia "My doctor prescribed Rozerem last week. I have taken Temazepam 30 mg for years but it had stopped being effective so we are testing alternatives. Last night was the 7th night of taking Rozerem- no help."

For Insomnia "This product does not work very well at all in low dose. I took it the first night and got some sleep. After that, no effect. I don't wake up in the middle of the night, I just can't go to bed and go to sleep unless I am up most early am hours."

For Insomnia "Second time I've tried this and again does not work. Was hoping the first time maybe I should have stayed on it longer. Used Zolpidem which worked great but insurance wouldn't offer it anymore so tried Rozerem for 1st time. Have tried Edluar which started working for me and the supplier is out???? Back to the only one left which was Rozerem and it's been 3 nights of no sleep UGH"

For Insomnia "I'm in day 5 for me it hasn't been as bad as others have had it. It's effective for making me fall asleep but I still wake up early. I actually dream versus not before so that's a good sign I'm going into a deeper sleep. The next I feel more tired though. A big part of sleep is not just meds, I like others rely on them too much. There so much you can do in addition to sleep meds. Like proper sleep hygiene, no TV or screens at least an hour before bed, stress relief through exercise maybe yoga, whatever works. It's a lot of personal responsibility that people don't take including me. I'm trying thought."

For Insomnia "I use Rozerem as a back up when my Halcion stops working due to overuse. I find that the Rozerem definitely knocks me out for a good number of hours. The only side effect is the feeling of a mild hangover in the morning. But overall, it is a good back up to have in your arsenal when you suffer from severe insomnia as I do."

For Insomnia "I have tried Rozerem off and on for several months and I found it to be effective at helping me fall and stay asleep. But I'm seeing a pattern of a hang-over effect the next day that leaves me feeling very depressed and listless, which is not something that I have had with Ambien or benzos. So I'm probably gong to stop taking Rozerem."

For Insomnia "I have taken it at least 10 times. It is very expensive. And it worked only 1 out of the 10 doses. I am now trying to avoid caffeine and aspirin which is very difficult to do and will see if it works better. "

For Insomnia "So recently I got prescribed with Rozerem. I've been having trouble falling and staying asleep. I told my psychiatrist that I wanted to try melatonin, and he gave me Rozerem. It's been four days since I've been on it. Two out of four of those nights, I had very vivid dreams and nightmares. On the second day, I had two nightmares in a row. On the fourth day, another nightmare, and I've been up for two hours. It's 5:41 am at the moment. I wanted melatonin so I could sleep at night and lucid dream. I'd rather be active and do whatever I want in my dreams than live in this reality. I sleep when I'm overly stimulated and just overall depressed. I'm happy that my dreams are very vivid, but when I'm having a nightmare, I like to be aware so that I can either change my dream or just wake up. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. Yes, Rozerem works for putting me to sleep, but if you don't want to potentially have nightmares, I don't recommend it."

For Insomnia "I am a day sleeper and was only sleeping about 3 hours a day and waking several times during that 3 hours when I was just taking Ambien. I have starting taking Rozerem in combination with Ambien and I am now sleeping about 6 hours a day. The first few days I felt very drowsy but that has gone away and now I feel wonderful and rested."

For Insomnia "Rozerem has been very effective for my sleep-onset issues with little side effect. However, some days I feel extremely tired (sleepy) throughout the day at random points. This severity of sleepiness really only seems to occur the day after I have taken Rozerem (I do not take it every night if I can help it). "

For Insomnia "I have just started on roserum and find I still wake up several times a night, however, I sleep hard in between waking up. I slept very light and almost consiously before taking it. So, I am happy with it, best of all, it is not an addictive drug or narcotic! Thank god for something that helps better than nothing and not addictive."

For Insomnia "This is opposite of what I need! I haven't slept in 2 days! I will start to fall asleep for less than an hour, body so tired. I toss and turn - NO SLEEP!! Do not buy!"
