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  Because I can't get to sleep It upsets my stomach I was on Ambien for 8 years, which put me to sleep and kept me asleep for at least 6 hours. Rozerem is a high priced sleep aid does does absolutely nothing for me. What a joke! And then have the nerve to charge double the copay. F 57 14 days

 1  insomnia one of the worst headaches I've ever had in my life. Like I had a very bad hangover, but it started 30 min. after I took it and lasted until I slept the next night when I went back to Ambien CR. Also scary haunted nightmares with ghosts and noises. I can believe the lady who said she was crazy with it. This stuff is soooo bad. F 55 2 days

 4  insomnia The first couple of nights I felt hot after taking the meds. I felt like I was running a fever, but that went away after a few days. The 1st night or two it did not make a difference. After a few days I started falling asleep sooner and sooner after taking the drug. After about 2 weeks it is working well, and I am falling asleep about 30 min. after taking it. It has been a huge help for me. M 40 3 weeks

 1  have ic and trouble falling asleep wide-awake, accelerated heartbeat, while at rest body was numb-like, restless leg problems, itchy. I took it for 1 night. A half hour later my mind was clearer and less foggy but I did feel like going to bed, I thought it might work. A half hour I layed in bed and every 2 minutes I would get an itcy sensation but never in the same spot. If I laid completely still for a minute or 2 my body felt drugged and numb and I wouldn't be able to get moving easily, I was up all night with a accelerated heartbeat and a heavy chested deep breathing that felt like my heart would stop. The next day I had a bad headache and still couldn't sleep. I went to bed without taking it and still had a hard time sleeping. I may try it one more time because it was so expensive but I dought it will be any different. I have tried Ambien and Ambien CR and had trouble sleeping on them too. But I would rather take them then this one. F 32 1 times

 1  Insomnia No real side effects because it didn't work at all. After being awake for 48 hours I went to the urgent care center to get treatment because I can't afford to miss work and can't work when I am dead on my feet and mind not clear. Doctor would not give me even 3 tablets of cheap ambien (which will put you down....with a few side effects) but said to try this medication. It is totally worthless. If the doctor tries to give it to you.....refuse and demand something else. Chronic Insomnia is a curse that many of my family members from mother to sister to nephew deals with so I know what I am talking about. Ineffective Drug!!! and Expensive!!! F 43 2 days

 5  I have chronic insomnia first couple days after experienced some drowsiness and then it went away I have been taking Rozerem for almost 4 months (yes, it is safe to use long-term). I think my success for using this drug is because I am a drug rep for the company and understand how Rozerem works. There is a "right way" and a "wrong way" to take it. I knew not to expect a feeling of sedation (like other sleep aids) and I also practice good "sleep hygiene", because treating insomnia has to be a lifestyle change. This is how to take it... I take my Rozerem about 9:30pm (30 min before I need to go to bed), take a warm shower, turn off the tv/computer/lights, and do anything else to prepare for bed. Then it's lights out! If you expect to be sedated, then you will certainly be disappointed. If you are searching for a way to sleep more normally (and not mask the problem), it will require a little patience and effort, but it's well worth the outcome! I'm so much happier not suffering from insomnia anymore. After about 2 weeks on the med, I started sleeping 8 ho F 31 4 months

 4  RLS none Works well for RLS, I am able to fall asleep rather quickly..a nice drift off..sometimes I wake during the night as normal to use the lav...but otherwise feel great..a bit slow to wake but, small price to pay for being able to sleep at night. Have not met the big Beaver yet though... F 38 1 months

 1  Primary Lifelong Insomnia Next morning rozerem hangover, severe depression, unreality. I took this for a week, as long as I could stand it, and it made me terribly depressed and foggy and generally strung out. Plus it didn't really help much with the insomnia. F 43 7 days

 1  Chronic, severe, insomnia Increased insomnia I am 48 and have probably never slept normally. I have always had a parodoxical reaction to OTC medications that are supposed to cause drowsiness. For instance a cold medication that "causes drowsiness" will keep me up all night. I have had sleep studies and am now using a CPAP mask, however the mask does no good if you can't get to sleep. My sleep specialist does not like sleeping pills and so has tried Terazodon (sp?) which did not work but at least did no harm. Now I have been on Rozerem for two weeks. I have lost every gain that I had made with the CPAP mask. It takes over an hour to fall asleep and I am awake three or four times during the night for up to an hour at a time. I am discontinuing the Rozerom. However, to his credit, the doctor did not think that Rozerem would work. M 48 14 days

 1  waking after 3 hours sleep nightly There were vivid, very disturbing dreams. I had a spacey feeling all day after taking it, and worst of all, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of sadness, deep dark sadness. I tried it again and the same thing happened. Now I have the sensation that my heart is in my throat. I would rather deal with the difficulty sleeping and tiredness than the way this makes me feel F 54 2 days

 1  Insomnia This drug worked great - the first 2 or 3 times I used it. No side effects, no bad dreams. It got me to sleep - but didn't really keep me asleep long. I'd wake after about 4 hours. It then began taking longer and longer to work..30 minutes at first, then 45, 60 minutes. I'm on my 2nd 30 day supply....the effectiveness is now zero. I took it at 9:30 pm, it's now 2:00 am, and I'm more awake now than during the day. I have a feeling most others will experience the same thing...just use the samples the Doc gives you for at least a couple nights of releif. The effectiveness is non existent after taking it a half dozen times. You may as well take a Smartie - it'll have the same effect after a couple of weeks. Too bad, i was hopeful at first :( M 43 2 months
