| 1 | insomnia, frequent waking | horrible side effects-following day felt like I had a combination of the flu, the worst hangover I've ever had and exhaustion as if I'd run a marathon the day before: ever joint ached, muscle aches all over, incredible headache and just generally horrible all over feelings. Was so bad, I could not believe one small pill could make me feel so awful. | could have handled side effects a little bit if Rozerem had given me any help on the insomnia: absolutely no difference on insomnia symptoms...same as before taking it: fell asleep within 1/2 hour, woke up 2 hours later (wide awake & tired), then dozed off & on rest of night for three nights in a row. At which time I was so wiped out from 3 days of horrible side effects that I called doctor & switched | F | 50 | 3 days | 7/10/2007 | 2 | Chronic Insomnia | slight nausea if taken very late, and on a empty stomach. | I have been a Lunesta fan for 9 months, but my doctor decided I should try Rozerem in order to reset my sleep cycle since I want to become pregnant in the next 6 months. As mentioned in one other comment, my doctor also mentioned that Rozerem may take up to 2 weeks to kick in, so I was advised to continue the Lunesta as well. It has been 17 nights and I'm not sure I see the benefit yet. I've been giving the Rozerem over an hour to kick me into sleep mode, but I end up taking 2mg of Lunesta because I don't feel anything at bedtime. I will give it another 2 weeks to see if there is improvement. However, I am also weaning off my anti-anxiety med (Lexapro) by 10mg at the same time, which could be part of my problem. | F | 35 | 17 days | 7/2/2007 | 2 | Insomnia | Insomnia! | Rozerem kept me from sleeping. I wish it worked for me as I have chronic insomnia, but it looks like I'm stuck with Ambien (stops working after a while) or Lunesta (gives me headaches and a bad taste in my mouth). I would love to be able to sleep with something milder like Rozerem, but this stuff actually worsened my insomnia. Very disappointing. | F | 38 | 7 days | 6/30/2007 | 1 | insomnia | it just didnt work at all. | i took it and waited until i felt slightly drowsy(about 1hr). went and layed in bed for 45 minutes.. nothing.. got back up. 3 days in a row :( | M | 34 | 3 days | 6/26/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | Hallucinations, trouble going back to sleep. | I took for one night. It put me to sleep fast but when I woke up a few hours later to use the bathroom I was hallucinating. My face was morphing in the mirror and the walls looked like they were breathing. It took me three hours to go back to sleep and by then I only had 30 minutes before I had to get up. I found a new doctor and am now on temazepam. | M | 36 | 1 days | 6/26/2007 | 4 | Insomnia | I was fatigued the next day - to my surprise and contrary to the reports of other patients | This medication put me to sleep and I am a very hard person to put to sleep by anything but very hi side effect and very addictive medication. Bravo except for the next day's fatigue | M | 61 | 2 days | 5/29/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | Insomia, intense anxiety and nausea | Terrible nightmares, had be woken up by my fiance' and completely exhaused in the day, I am unsure if it's because when I was sleeping I was restless or the fact that I was only sleeping a few hours... | F | 29 | 2 days | 5/29/2007 | 3 | Insomnia | Very little side effects. You do dream when taking Rozerem so the commericals are accurate. If only you could dream consistently for longer then 4 hours | You need to combine this drug with other sleep aids to get effective action. I sometime combine with valerian, melatonin or over the the counter sleep aids like diphendrine. | M | 40 | 2 weeks | 5/19/2007 | 1 | sleep | what a weak drug ambien is so much better and this drug is very expensive | Ambien goes generic in April 2007, the Ambien CR is still on patent. Ambien Generic (zolpidem tartrate)Cheap Generic Drug | F | 34 | 13 years | 5/18/2007 | 1 | Delayed sleep onset | Helped me fall asleep earlier than usual, but produced a very restless sleep with frequent waking. | M | 27 | 2 days | 5/7/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | Insomnia, made it worst. | This medicine is very expensive. It is not worth a dollar. It did not work at all. I was awake all night. It is nothing but a sugar pill. They need to take this medicine off the market. They are making money off something that does not work. I don't have money to give away. It was the worst nights I have had in a long time after taking this medicine. | F | 51 | 3 days | 5/3/2007 | 1 | insomnia | nightmares, depression... same stuff that melatonin often often produces | Did not get any good sleep with this stuff. | F | 35 | 2 days | 5/2/2007 | 1 | for sleep | i experienced increased anxiety--unable to get to sleep at all, a very dissappointing medication with major side effects, it should be banned. its a horrible med | added and unexpected depression, withdrawal symptoms with brief usage-a spacey feeling. very eery at best. | M | 68 | 3 times | 4/30/2007 | 4 | insomnia - due to pain meds | Drowsiness, duh. | I discontinued Lunesta because it hit me hard, knocked me out and left me stupid the next day with that horrible taste in my mouth. Doctor switched me to ROZEREM and I think it's great. It comes on gently, and leads to a more natural sleep. I can wake up to use the bathroom and go back to sleep. I wake up in the morning with my brain intact. My only complaint is that it doesn't *always* work 100%. Some nights, it lets me sleep, but if I wake up I'll need a couple hours to get back to sleep again. | M | 59 | 3 months | 4/28/2007 | 1 | to help me fall asleep | None, except it didn't help me fall asleep at ALL! | It didn't help me fall asleep at ALL! It's worthless - I've had to switch to Lunesta. | F | 39 | 20 days | 4/25/2007 | 1 | insomnia | This drug has totally destroyed my sex drive! My libido is shot and I cannot have an orgasm. Also, I'm feeling very sad and depressed much of the time---and not just because my sex life has tanked on this drug! | I can fall asleep readily if I take Rozerem but I wake up in a few hours and cannot get back to sleep. I've taken Ambien for a long time and recently switched to Ambien CR. I'm going back to Ambien CR. Fewer side effects and I sleep much better. | F | 47 | 7 days | 4/16/2007 | 1 | Insomnia | I had great results for two weeks.Now I take it and am WIDE AWAKE all night. Tonight was my last trial run. This is the 4th bad night in a week. I am positive the Rozerem has had an oppisite effect. Curse that Beaver! | F | 39 | 21 days | 4/10/2007 | 2 | Insomnia | No side effects, and no sleep as well. | 3 days into this ad driven sleep aid, so far I have not seen any benefits. I'll give it a few more days, who knows. | M | 44 | 3 days | 4/9/2007 | 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 | 2 | insomia | very restless night after taking it. Did not stay asleep made me feel very anxious. | F | 38 | | 4/8/2007 |
