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)

 5  trouble falling asleep With a whole pill I had a drowsy doppy feeling until 4pm the next day. with a half pill no side effects. You might try a half pill if the full doze makes it difficult to wake in the morning. I know many people who take half a sleeping pill of any type for this same reason. Half a pill makes me drowsy enough to drop off at a reasonable hour. F 42 8 weeks

 4  insomnia 10/02/07 - crazy dreams, a bit hungover, possible stomach problems? I have been taking Rozerem since last spring. It took several weeks before it worked well but then it REALLY helped me get my sleep back on track. I did have some crazy dreams and trouble waking. I decided to try going without and I have slept really well for six nights now with no Rozerem. I'm still having crazy dreams and trouble waking so it must not be the Rozerem. I highly recommend it! F 35 7 months

 2  Insomnia Helped me fall asleep only for 2-3 hours. Woke up frequently during the night. A lot of trouble trying to fall back asleep. Felt very nausiated by 4:00 - 5:00 am. several mornings in a row. Nausia would subside around lunch time. I asked my doctor for Sonata and I will try that. Lost some weight as well, possibly due to the nausia. F 40 3 weeks

 1  insomnia more insomnia I could NOT fall asleep after taking this drug. I stayed up the entire night every time I took it. It made me feel more restless when I tried to fall asleep. Do not take this medicine. It will make your insomnia worse than you can imagine. F 25 20 days

 1  Insomnia This was a waste of money!!! I woke up the next morning feeling like I had been drugged, and would NEED a nap after only being awake for two hours. It made me stay up half the night and then sleepier during the day. I went back to taking a Xanax just so I can get some sleep! Rozerem is over priced, and only makes a good pill if you need to sleep during the day...just make sure you take the pill about 8 hours before you really need to sleep. F 48 4 days

 1  insomnia I became anxious and tense all day, began having tremors, started losing 1 to 1.5 pounds daily, went several days with 0 sleep near the end of taking it. Increasingly got worse daily. Still have lasting effects even after quiting the med. My doc kept telling me to wait that it takes time to take effect. When I told her what was happening she said it was in the book couldn't be true. I am still seeking medical for long term damage I feel came directly fromthis drug. F 36 14 days

 1  Insomnia Trouble staying asleep. Extremely tired during the day and unable to function. I've taken this drug for 9 days. My doctor said it would take 2 weeks to work effectively. I can't stay on it for this long because always the next day I am so tired that I can barley function at work and have no desire to do anything but lay around. It just zaps your energy. I also keep waking up during the night and feel worse than taking no medication. I am going to stick to tamazapam, it works great compared to Rozerem. It feels like your taking a placebo. Don't waste your time. F 45 9 days

 1  insomnia Having trouble staying asleep--so the doctor gave me samples of rozerem to help me relax. I got LESS rest after taking it. I took one but won't take anymore. I had a miserable night after taking rozerem---was awake all night, could not even relax---I get more rest taking a 10mg tablet of Flexeril at bedtime. F 59 1 days

 1  Insomnia I was prescribed this when I was coming off of a SSRI and went through the insomnia/Zap episodes. It worked once in a while. Took 1 tab after having a sleepless night a few days ago and the zaps came back? Trying to think of the best way to destroy $112 worth of this crap. I'll never take it again. M 46 1 days

 1  insomnia insomnia, anxiety, restlessness My doctor gave this to me as a sample because I was experiencing insomnia and body aches. My other doctor had suggested benadryl awhile back, but the benadryl had lost it's effect. The first night I took the Rozerem, I didn't even get tired. I was up all night and could barely function the next day. The second night, I fell asleep (only because I was so exhausted) but still had a hard time staying asleep. The following nights were terrible as well. I eventually gave in to Tylenol P.M. and discontinued the Rozerem. I'm convinced it's a sugar pill. F 35 6 days

 1  Insomnia My body quivers deep down inside. I can't explain it, almost like restless leg syndrome. It makes me very anxious, not tired at all and my whole body hurts the next day. I am an incurable insomniac: I have haluccinations with ambien, I hate the after taste of lunesta, and I'm still breastfeeding so I can't take Restoril (which is the only thing that works). Rozerem is worthless, it doesn't knock me out...if anything it keeps me awake. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this drug is a crock! I thought I was having a bad reaction to coming off of my pain medication but quit taking the Rozerem anyways. Tonight I was desperate for some sleep and here I am, wide awake...it was the Rozerem all along! F 28 10 days

 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
