Avatar f tn These drugs are believed to possess similar abuse potentials. Ramelteon (Rozerem), works differently in the body to treat insomnia. It is not considered to be a controlled substance. Zolpidem (Ambien) and eszopiclone (Lunesta) have been shown to reduce the time until sleep occurs and increase total sleep time. The sleep induced by them resembles natural sleep. Ramelteon (Rozerem) has shown to reduce the time until sleep occurs.

Avatar n tn Specifically, the delayed sleep phase syndrome. He prescribed Ramelteon to help her fall asleep at night. So far, the sleeping pill seems to work but in a subtle way. If she does not prep herself for sleep, sleep will not come. It has gotten so bad that she cannot remember the last time she slept and felt rested. There is a bit more to it then just a sleeping problem. I am not sure if this is related to it but she has laps of time where she can't remember specifically what she did.
603015 tn?1329862973 In Canada Rozerem is called Ramelteon. That is probably the scientific name. I believe according to one post I saw melatonin is not available in Canada anymore because it is unsafe. Rozerem however, is an FDA approved medication. I was informed by my psychopharmocologist that Rozerem is completely non addictive and works differently from all other known sleep aides though you could look at the medication website and ask your own psychiatrist to confirm.

3297715 tn?1349020348 I start my treatment next week. Have to take 2 capsules of Ribasphere 200 mg daily and 1 shot of Pegasys Pro Click 180 mcg/ 0.5 mil weekly for 24 weeks . Have to have blood work done monthly to monitor my platelet count. Last blood work they were at 33,000 but they have been up and down since 07 when I was diagnosed with ITP.

3297715 tn?1349020348 Started treatment last Thursday of 800 mg of ribavirin daily and the auto click Pegasys weekly. Viral load was 35,000 on March 5th. Blood work to be done weekly then on April 23rd will have blood work done to see if I'm responding to meds.
Avatar f tn Do most people start treatment right away or do you wait if you are not symptomatic? I keep having these moment where I need to know all the answer and all the next steps. And then for a moment I'm ok. Is it better to get my body in shape before undergoing treatment (kind of like preparing for battle). I all ready have aches and pains and am over-weight. Would treatment intensify this?

Avatar f tn well my husband starts treatment tuesday night. what should we expect? the dr. said to take a couple of tylenol before we come in. for what? and should it be tylenol pm so he can come home and just sleep? i hope thats not a dumb question.
Avatar n tn after you post your last blood work up here - and it seems that you should be having treatment - wave bye-bye to this doctor and get a good one!
Avatar f tn After I found out I had HepC, I got tested again, had the liver biopsy and was offered to start treatment. But, my viral load is only 160,000, and my liver showed only slight cell inflamation. The nurse said I should start while I feel good. I wonder if the viral load was low becasue before having the biopsy and viral load count, I spent a year taking high doses of milk thistle and basil, and plenty of vitamins. I think my viral load count is relatively low.
Avatar n tn I actually turned out to be one of the lucky ones. I was genotype 1b, grade 1, Stage 0. I started treatment at the age of 29. I was on treatment for 48 weeks and it was nothing for me. I had hardly any side effects, i never took one helper drug, only Advil here and there and smoked a little marijuana sometimes in the mornings to get my appetite going before i headed to work. I missed a total of 5 days from work in the entire 48 weeks.
408795 tn?1324935675 Well I have an appointment to start treatment on March 6th, so hopefully I can begin treating this disease. What is important to me is what happens from here on out. I didn't even consider treatment because I was fearful of the side effects that I was hearing so much about and again the doctor I've been seeing has left the decision totally up to me, so yeah it's my own fault that I've put off treatment. I guess I was hoping a milder form of treatment would come along.

Avatar m tn As a person with Cirrhois I am curious if anyone on the transplant list has not done treatment. I have had doctors tell me that Treatment is very hard on the liver and others that say you should treat as long as your still compensated.
