Common Questions and Answers about Rozerem and melatonin

rozerem

Avatar f tn t advise you on dosing and encourage you to speak to the doctor you work with. Rozerem works by stimulating melatonin receptors in the body. It is non addictive and the only medication that is shown to be safe to use for six months of insomnia where as all of the other ones are generally expected to be used short term. Do you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep after falling asleep or both? The hope is if you are treating your anxiety disorder, that your insomnia will get better.
Avatar m tn The chemical is called Melatonin. You can buy melatonin at any vitamin store in sublingual pill form. I take Effexor and have found Melatonin quite helpful.
Avatar m tn I am actually being tapered from Risperidone and Xanax by my Psychiatrist and am having sleep problems but I shall take Melatonin or Rozerem instead after consulting my Psychiatrist as I dont want go through another withdrawal syndrome.
Avatar f tn Isn't Rozerem very closely related to melatonin? I've tried melatonin and valerian for insomnia. Neither with much success. Surely there are other alternatives besides trazadone and rozerem. I would like to know what they are.
603015 tn?1329862973 That can be taken everyday and might get your sleep cycle more in order. And as for Rozerem and Lunesta unlike the other two medications which have to be withdrawn over time if someone has built up a tolerance to them, being that this is not an issue, if the medication for bipolar adjusts itself and your sleeping becomes more normal you can stop them at that point without a problem. You might ask about those two especially Rozerem.
994257 tn?1266242692 I know since I had trouble falling asleep in addition to sleep disruption I was prescribed the sleep aide Rozerem which is non addictive and actually adjusts the sleep cycle like melatonin but I don't know if it would be prescribed for sleep disruption but you could ask your psychiatrist.
Avatar n tn She is currently in dosage of 25/150, 25/150, 25/100, and around 0.16 requip before sleep together with Rozerem 8mg and Zyprexa 1.25 mg. (I forgot to mention Zyprexa in previous post) But strangest thing is she becomes much more difficulty in falling and staying asleep. In theory, if the dyskinesia/teeth grinding went away, she should feel much better and more easier to get into sleep. But it does not.
Avatar f tn One medication you might want to ask your psychiatrist about is Rozerem which is an FDA approved sleep aide that works like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and is safe and non addictive.
Avatar f tn Hello! Melatonin does not help me. Zaleplon helps to sleep, but it can not be taken for a long time, since it causes dependence. Diagnosis: chronic insomnia with anxiety disorder. I take escitalopram in the morning. Can Rozerem replace Zaleplon?
985832 tn?1249126599 If its an issue with sleep aides Rozerem is an FDA approved medication that works like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and is safe and non addictive and is actually more effective than melatonin
Avatar f tn s in the long run but the effect can be masked while it is occuring and should not be given for assistance with sleeping for this reason. Lunesta and Rozerem are known sleep aides that are safe and effective and can be taken every day especially Rozerem which is derived from Melatonin and helps regulate the sleep cycle.
1673169 tn?1316541930 Yes for me it took some time to work although each person responds differently to each medication or treatment but it might be worthwhile to ask your psychiatrist about Rozerem which is an FDA approved medication that works exactly like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and is safe and non addictive. Also it has an exact dose and quantity unlike any natural remedy so if they considered it a possibility could find out what dose would work right for you.
Avatar f tn Just read a bit about it. It seems to be one of a new class of drugs that began in Europe that are basically looking at melatonin rather the usual suspects. But melatonin will only work well if the problem is your Circadian rhythms are off -- if your sleep problem is from another cause, this might not work. One thing about using melatonin is the dose -- most people take too much, thinking more is better.
1310435 tn?1273598077 Hi, katiefaye. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? I have sleep apnea as well as insomnia. I've taken Melatonin (an over the counter item), Rozerem (works well, and is a prescription item), and now I'm taking Tofranil(orescription) to help with my chronic headaches AND insomnia. There is also a brand of antihistamine that helps with sleep, too. Your best bet, again, is to speak with your doctor. Good luck.
574118 tn?1305135284 There are some FDA approved sleep aides that can be of help such as Rozerem (that one is non addictive and works similarly to melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle). Tradazone can be helpful for some people but it does have somewhat of a potential to cause tardive dyskinesia. Its better to go with an FDA approved medication but if you find information on supplements that are in clinical study and could be of help print out the information and discuss it with your psychiatrist.
1021912 tn?1251693068 When it nears bed time, my heart begins to beat excessively, and I have a permanent anxious/nervous feeling. I try to sleep and my mind thinks about everything and will not calm. My doctor suggested Melatonin and I've been taking it for some time, however now it has lost it's effect. I recently, during the course of the summer, have begun taking my mom's sleeping pills, which are called clonazepam 0.5 mg. I take half and it usually does that trick.
741315 tn?1232458427 Rozerem works in the same manner as Melatonin and actually adjusts the sleep cycle. Those are some ideas to speak to your psychiatrist about.
Avatar n tn i've heard some people say it gets better for them. this particular side effect seems to be more common than it should be....and with the sheer volume of people who take it every night, it's a rather scary thought. i've seen a few other posts on this. maybe try to search the archives and read through what others have said on the issue.
1116728 tn?1276797124 If you are concerned though Rozerem is one FDA approved option that is safe and non addictive and works like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle. You could ask them if that's a possibility but it would be within their judgment of course.
Avatar m tn If its taken as a sleep aid and they find it too sedating Rozerem is one option that works like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and is safe and non addictive and from what I am aware of and remember of it will wear off by the next day but each person responds differently to each medication.
Avatar f tn You could try asking about Rozerem which is an FDA approved medication that works in a similar way to melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and is non addictive. Some people find it helpful although each person responds differently to each medication.
Avatar f tn All I know is that the medication Rozerem which adjusts the sleep cycle in the exact same manner as melatonin is a safe and effective sleep aide but I don't know if its prescribed for children. Its complex with medications for children as the dosages and responses are very different than adults. All of the medications you mentioned are used for ADD and work but they are all activating as they are stimulants so its complex as regards sleep.
Avatar n tn I usually suggest to people that they ask their doctor about the medication Rozerem which is a sleep aide that is safe and effective and works in the same manner as Melatonin and actually adjusts the sleep cycle but I don't know if that's meant for children either. If this is just natural difficulties going to sleep, standard variations with going to bed and other routines with sleep hygeine (you could look up the term) would work.
1088646 tn?1256949923 The FDA approved sleep aide Rozerem works exactly like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and is safe and non addictive and can be taken every day. You could ask your psychiatrist about that.
5764859 tn?1400881756 Well done I have an upcoming appoment in a month and I will discuss these medications with my Dr and Thanks for your feedback.
Avatar m tn The natural remedy that is specifically helpful as a sleep aide is melatonin but Rozerem was derived from it and as an FDA approved medication is a safer option. Other natural remedies more have a calming effect. There is a specific forum for complementary medicine where people might have more information. Any ideas should be discussed with your psychiatrist and generally if a medication is working unless your psychiatrist says otherwise its worth remaining on it.
736314 tn?1276884623 You could also ask about Rozerem which being related to melatonin adjusts the sleep cycle and has less of a potential to loss effectiveness over time. And also there are some general books and ideas on sleep hygeine that can help you establish regular sleeping habits that will help as well.
1071525 tn?1255392574 It is an anti-depressent of course but if its being given for sleep only, one option you could ask your psychiatrist about is Rozerem which is an FDA approved medication that works like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle and generally a person doesn't feel tired the next day. That doesn't mean you might not have ADHD in addition to all this. You could ask your psychiatrist about all this. If the panic attacks aren't being treated you could ask what could help on that as well.
