| 2 | insomnia | My usual problem is falling asleep, not staying asleep, and I have fallen asleep about an hour after taking Rozerem. But I wake up dozens of times during the night and feel the next day like I got about two hours of sleep, plus nausea. So, I take it when I feel like otherwise I won't sleep at all, since two hours if better than zero, but really I couldn't say I recommend Rozerem at all. | M | 3 days | 1/25/2008 | 2 | 1 days | 12/30/2013 | 1 | Insomnia | I was awake until after 5am the next morning. | This stuff does not work. It was a doctor sample as he doesn't believe in benzo's. Why is it that so many doctor's don't believe in older, cheap, meds with a proven track record, but they are quick to give samples of the newest drug releases? Reminds me of a song that goes "Money, money, mon-aa". | M | 1 days | 7/24/2007 | 5 | Insomnia(Wellbutrin Side effect) | None that I can link to this particular medication I'm also on 3mg of melatonin and 450 Welbutrin XL | I am taking 450 mg of Wellbutrin which has cut in to my sleep. The rozerem seems to do the trick, I also take it with Melatonin 3mg. This is non addicting and not a narcotic so this is a plus. Don't think there are any side effects. | F | 16 | 3 months | 1/7/2007 | 2 | "Inoperable" Isomnia | Slight hallucination while waking up in the middle of the night. | Im 16 years old and have had insomnia since i can remember. My doctor declared me legally insane when i was 13. When i get to sleep i usaully can stay asleep, but when i took this drug i woke up to an old man standing in front of me in the middle of the damn night. He made a suprized face and dissapeared into thin air. Im not sure why this happend, but it creeped me out a little. I was able to get to sleep though. | M | 16 | 3 days 8 MG 7X W | 2/28/2012 | 1 | insomnia from axiety | horrible headache the first morning. then terrible nightmares. | the second night, my nightmares were so detailed and it was like i couldnt wake up from them. then, when i finally did wake up, i was so paranoid and axious that i couldnt go back to sleep. | F | 16 | 2 days | 7/25/2008 | 1 | Insomnia, sleep disorder | Fall asleep for about 30 minutes, and wake up, unable to fall asleep. Night terrors, ovarian cysts, exacerbation of mental illness. | My doctor prescribed me Rozerem because it was the "only" script sleep aid that didn't react with my other medications. Well, the medications I take are for bi-polar, manic depression, severe anxiety, and panic disorder. After some research online, I read that it shouldn't be prescribed to the mentally ill, and it can affect hormones. Since I was prescribed it, I've had ovarian cysts, and EXTREMELY decreased sex drive, which my husband isn't very happy about =P, and extreme mood swings, even on my medications. For the price, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. | F | 18 | 3 months | 2/22/2008 | 3 | insomnia | I take rozerem every night with lunesta, and it helps me fall asleep within 30-60 minutes of getting in bed. But, I have severe daytime drowsyness. | F | 19 | 6 weeks | 9/23/2007 | 2 | Anxiety induced insomnia | exasperated insomnia, strange tingling/burning sensation in sinuses | 8mg (the standard dose) had lost effectiveness after some time of use, I was just upped to 16mg and about one half hour after taking the 2 pills I was awake and wired. possibly 12mg, one and a half pills, could work, but from doing nothing to making my insomnia worse, doesn't seem likely | M | 19 | 6 months | 5/21/2008 | 1 | Insomnia, trouble sleeping | Paranoid the next day, drowsy; tired feeling morning after, horrible nightmares, did not help with sleep. | This felt like nothing more than Melatonin. It took me forever to fall asleep and when I finally did I had this awful nightmare. I woke up in tears and was paranoid the rest of the day. This drug was as effective as eating a skittle before bed and beaming a horror movie into my head, except skittles at least taste good. I wouldn't recommend this. | F | 19 | 1 days 8 MG 1X day | 1/26/2011 | 1 | Lack of sleep | flu like symptoms(lots of internal body heat), vivid scary dreams, extreme anger out of the blue, suicidal thoughts, horrible depression, increased heartrate, feeling of throat constricting. | My doctor told me to take this but the side effects are the worst ever. I had really creepy vivid dreams. I would wake up 3 hours after taking it , fell back asleep and felt bad the whole day. I had a constant feeling that my body was really internally hot. My throat felt constricted. I felt like dying. Then I visited my parants and out of the blue I started a horrible argument, with me being very angry and saying horrific things I would NEVER unless I was out of control, which I felt like. When I got home I realized that I am never like that , and my body felt extremely hot, I could feel my heart pounding really fast, my throat was feeling very constricting and I could tell this was not normal at all. I immediately went to look at the side effects of the medicine online and realized the cause, because that argument was not me, it was like some angry new person had arrived. I immediately apologized and explained the situation to my parents by the way. I would not reccomend this medication, I'm sticking to over the counter melatonin. | M | 19 | 7 days 8 mg 1X day | 3/16/2010 | 4 | Insomnia | None so far | Grant it I've only been on it for one night, but the first night was the first time I had slept all the way through the night in weeks. This is a great drug. I have no sluggish feeling during the day. It does have different effects for different people, I would say try it. | M | 20 | 1 days | 8/17/2008 | 4 | Trouble falling to sleep | If I didn't give myself a full (at least) 8 hours of sleep-- I felt slightly hungover... but just kind of tired... But that doesn't last long. | I take Adderall and it keeps me from falling asleep sometimes... You can truly take it when you need it, and stop when you don't--- It doesn't screw up your sleep cycle... | M | 21 | 2 months | 2/15/2007 | 2 | could not fall sleep stay upfor day | worst headache of my life,sleep all day long,was up half the night,and i was sleep all day long it was like did not take anything | and it cost me 131.00 USD | M | 21 | 2 days | 9/2/2008 | 1 | insomia | ringing in the ears, anxiety, insomnia, feeling miserably groggy | the idea behind this medication is cool, but I didn't find it very useful. | F | 22 | 2 days 8mg 1X day | 8/17/2011 | 3 | Insomina | Extreme fatigue and grogginess during day. | Helps me get to sleep, but I feel like I never wake up. | F | 23 | 7 days 8 mg 1X day | 3/3/2012 | 1 | busy life style, noisy roomates | restless arms and legs, trouble breathiing (i weigh 120 LBs, and have never had difficulty breathing), muscle aches in morning, trouble urinating, dizziness in morning such dizziness to where i was knocked off balance, headache, very groggy in morning that didn`t wear off until mid-evening when I took prior at 7 pm, and did I mention trouble urinating, oh yes and very vivid nightmares and strange dream occurances, if you want to be the next Steven King writer I would recommend this drug. | I had some very vivid dreams, I honestly thought I was in real life while I was having these dreams, and often woke up not knowing where I was. I thought the dreams now are pretty cool, but at the time I was afraid to wake up `cause of me being so frightened. I had to really concentrate on going to the bathroom and as embarrasing as this sounds before taking this no problem and after taking it i had a problem going number one. all the other symptoms are listed above, and ya thats all for now, I dont recommend this, I will stick to my natural remedies for sleep aides, I feel bad and sorry for everyone experiencing bad problems with this drug, maybe you should go see an orthomolecular doctor. | F | 23 | 4 days 8 mg 1X day | 3/8/2010 | 1 | Wanted to be able to sleep longer | Nothing. Not even drowsiness. | The only good thing that this medicine has going for it is the commercial with the beaver in it. | F | 23 | 20 days | 4/9/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | Insomnia, flu-like symptoms, depression, exhaustion, anxiety. | Like many other people said.... I slept much more lightly than I do on my Trazodone. I woke up constantly, and felt like I was tossing and turning all night. I had anxiety-related nightmares all night, too. The next day I had cold-like symptoms, felt like I had a fever and was constantly exhausted. I've found myself more depressed than usual, and subject to the abstract thoughts and anxiety that usually only come when I'm not on my medication. All this after only two days, so I'm not going to risk continuing and getting even worse. Back to Trazodone for me. | F | 23 | 2 days | 3/13/2009 | 1 | insomnia | none | didnt work at all:( used it for a week....nothing. then another, still nothing! everyones different, but it doesnt seem to phase chronic insomnia | F | 23 | 2 weeks | 7/2/2008 |
ROZEREM (RAMELTEON): This medication is used to treat sleeplessness (insomnia). It helps you fall asleep faster so you can get a full night's rest. Sleep is important for your ability to function, think clearly, and remain alert. Lack of sleep can cause problems such as depression, heart disease and accidents. Getting enough sleep allows your mind and body to repair itself and increases your energy throughout the day. Ramelteon works like a natural substance called melatonin that is produced by your body. It helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). FDA Approval Date: 2005-07-22 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
