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)

 1  Insomnia Groggy feeling in the morning. Slight headache I took the medicine for two nights. Both nights I feel asleep but only for two-three hours. Could not fall back asleep. Was very restless all night and anxious (probably because I was worries about being able to work the next day). When I got out of bed in the morning it took me a bit to walk without feeling wobbly. I also felt groggy and kind of out of it for the first hour I was awake. Tried coffee to snap me out of it but no luck. I don't think I will take this medicine again. F 57 2 days

 1  Waking during the night Racing thoughts and wakefulness I've woken up hours after taking Rozerem two nights in a row now. I was curious if the first night was a fluke, but it's the same thing now the 2nd time. It's worse than if I didn't take anything. I'm looking forward to connecting with my doctor about how ineffective this prescription is and how it is causing new problems. F 35 2 days

 5  Chronic lifelong insomnia This is pretty technical, but I'm a retired ICU nurse and prefer to rely on science! I used Ramelteon 8mg to wean off Ambien/Zolpidem 10mg after 6 months of nightly use. (adapting protocol from 2006-2007 NIH study) I weaned off within 2 weeks and continued to use Ramelteon as recommended. Number of hours I slept decreased after each Ambien/Zolpidem dosage reduction. Frustrated, I finally researched the study by Rozerom manufacturer (verified by subsequent NIH study). Dosages used ranged from 8 to 64 mg. Most successful groups used 8 and 16 mg. Less success reported with higher doses. Clearly 8mg was not enough for me. I've suffered from chronic insomnia, difficulty falling/staying asleep, my entire life. I increased my Ramelteon dose to 2 tablets (16 mg) and slept normally. It takes a few days to build up in your system, so each night, the number of hours and quality of sleep improves. IF YOU ARE COMPLAINING ROZEROM/RAMELTEON 8MG DOES NOT WORK, YOU ARE, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, NOT TAKING A HIGH ENOUGH DOSE. The manufacturer needs to consult the data from their own study and update the dosage to include 8 AND 16mg. F 68 17 days

 1  Insomnia This stuff is worthless. It's 12:30 am and I'm still trying to fall asleep but instead I'm on my phone looking up reviews. My new doctor decided not to give me Ambien any longer, he said it's addictive, so he wants me to try this. Well, I can see why this is not addictive because it doesn't work. Who's going to keep taking it! F 62 3 days

 3  Insomnia I've had insomnia since I was 10. Even when I'm tired my mind won't shut down. Ambien can't even take me down. I took 1 of these & slept for about a day and a half and then woke up feeling rested. So it definitely does work, just don't plan on being successful for the next day or so because it wipes you out. It left me feeling groggy & unable to open my eyes so I had to cancel plans and just sleep it off. I recommend starting it on a weekend with no plans to get you back on a sleep cycle. Not sure I'll take it unless emergency though, it's pretty strong for nightly use. F 36 1 days

 1  Insomnia issues Sleep paralysis. My mind was still going while my body was shut down. I took it at 1 am and was up until 6am which is when I took my regular Advil pm & neurontin and finally fell asleep after taking my regular sleep meds. My boyfriend started taking it for bad nightmares but he doesn’t have insomnia because he falls asleep fast and he is having a good experience with it. He doesn’t have his nightmares and wakes up fully rested and feeling great. He’s 50 yrs. F 49 1 days

 1  Trouble falling and staying asleep It didn't help me fall asleep at all. When I finally slept, I had vivid dreams, then woke with nausea, severe headache, and grogginess the first day. Every night after that, it didn't work at all and left me with a nauseating headache the next day. Despite sleepwalking, sleep eating, and amnesia from Ambien, at least I fall asleep and don't feel terribly ill upon waking. Rozerem is the worst sleeping medicine I've ever tried, and it is about $11 a pill! F 47 5 days

 4  Chronic Insomnia I never review medications after taking them 1x -you need to take something for awhile to know how it affects you ( unless you are allergic /have adverse reaction ) , but I have tried Rozerem a few times in the past and had the same experience. It helps me sleep soundly w/o vivid dreams like I have on Melatonin. I was woken up once in the night by my dog and found it was a little hard to walk at first-like being drunk-but after a minute or two it was ok. I went back to sleep easily -never happens for me. I was tired the next day. I do remember now that when I used this med in the past I often cut it in half and I wasn't tired the next day that way. I know it is not Melatonin, but I am very sensitive to Melatonin and it has a similar reaction on the brain, so if you are too,you might want to ask your Dr for a lower dose or if you can cut it in half.
