I have sleep anxiety and only sleep 4 to 5 hours a night. I feel exhausted most of the time and I am able to fall asleep with melatonin but only helps for about 4 hours. I've tried Ambien, Clonazepam and everything over the counter. Clonazepam seemed to work but it's a controlled drug so I would like to get off it. Has anyone tried Rozerem? It's not a controlled drug. Thoughts or experience on Rozerem would be appreciated.
Best to ask your doc this question, as that person has examined you and knows your full med history. Suggest continuing to work on your anxiety disorder and as you make progress expect your sleep to improve. Ask also about using a CBT sleep training program as a permanent, sustainable, and substance-free solution.
Hello! Which sleeping pill is stronger, Belsomra or Rozerem? I take 2 tablets of Belsomra at night for 20 mg plus 2 tablets of Donormil. Should I try Rozerem?
I had knee surgery several years ago/started me on percs/then gave me tramadol. I remember asking BOTH the surgeon AND the pharmacist if it was A controlled Substance. Both ASSURED me No it was Not, and I do not really remembering catching any kind of buzz on it. . . . . Was not on it for very long. . .maybe a month????
Any thoughts?????? I need to educate myself if the professionals want to give it to me again in the future.
Thanks ALL!!!!!
Hello,
I am a male in their 20's currently suffering with major depressive disorder. I also have ADHD, but that is well controlled. For my depressive symptom's I've been through tons of medications for symptoms, but have found Lexapro and welbutrin together to be the most helpful. Even though this combo helps, I know there is so much room for improvement because I am still so depressed.
Has anyone tried taking rozerem to help sleep when tapering? I tried Abien a few years ago and it wired me all night. Last night, I took ,1 clonidine and 2 soma and I just knew that would put me to sleep and all it did was give me a big buzz and i was wired for a few hours.
I know I just need some sleep!
I am a nurse and our pharmacy recently contacted us to implement the changes of tramadol over to a controlled substance. Yes, went the switch was converted over, it went straight to the higher class of scheduled drugs. It will be a bit for the drug books to catch up, but when they republish, tramdol will be listed as a controlled substance.
She also has a sleep disorder that we finally saw a pediatric sleep specialist for-- now she uses a blue spectrum light every morning. Occasionally, we use Rozerem 8mg (prescribed by the peds sleep specialist) --but only occasionally when we are unable to do her light therapy. Is there any connection between sleep disorders & early adrenarche? And is this adrenarche when it is only her axillary area involved?
Obtaining Controlled substance prescriptions from two different drs is ILLEGAL and can result in not only being blacklisted in drs offices and pharmacies, but criminal charges for doctor shopping to obtain controlled substances.
It is also dangerous and can easily result in accidental overdose, respiratory suppression and death.
I am only posting this because tramadol is not actually a narcotic( so they say) they are actually on the verge of making it a controlled substance. I was on a bicycle and was hit by a car and I stressed to them not to give me any narcotics because I was scared of being addicted again after I had defeated that demon. We'll let me tell you they don't get you as high as like a lortab or Percocet or oxy, but boy oh boy the withdrawals are just as bad or worse.
t induce at night but feel sleepy at day time thus disturbing my working days.I want to start with Rozerem for inducing sleep.I wish to take this medication for a month or two and discontinue and get my sleep naturally as usual.Can the sleep disorder rebound after discontinuation? I've also been taking sertraline since many years,could these two drugs interact,if yes what are the effects?
It's tricky when dealing with a controlled substance. I would doubt they would just "exchange" the medication for a different brand. Actually, I'm pretty cure by law they're not allowed to accept medications back, most especially narcotics.
You would probably have to get a new script from your doctor specifying the brand you want. Start by calling your pharmacy and ask what your options are.
Let us know the outcome! Good luck.
Just saw a posting where someone said Ativan is not a narcotic, I do know that it is a controlled substance but I thought it was a narcotic also. Can anyone tell me what is correct?
One good option you could ask your psychiatrist about is the medication Rozerem which works to adjust the sleep cycle and is safe and non addictive. There are other options as well but that's one worth asking about. Also it might be a simple matter of timing. If a medication keeps you awake at night you could ask your psychiatrist if you could take it earlier in the day and see if that helps. Discuss all this with them and see what they say.
It appears to be similar in efficacy and like Ambien is meant for short term use only. Unless you've tried it Rozerem is one alternative that unlike Ambien or the medication you mentioned or Lunesta does not have a potential for a person to build up a tolerance to it and is an FDA approved medication that works like melatonin to adjust the sleep cycle. You could ask your psychiatrist about that.
Shes right, Gabapentin is not a controlled substance, but it should be. A newer version came out years ago called lyrica. Same exact class of medication, same mechanism, and it IS a controlled substance. The only reason gabapentin is not is because its super old. No one can or wants to re-establish its status. I would suggest a slow weaning off of it over a month or so. Take your time and decrease the milligrams every 5 days or so.
Hi, sorry for your wait in answer. Xanax does work, however, has draw backs. It's addictive. So you build tolerance and it takes more to get the effect and in general, people can begin taking more and more. That's why it is a controlled substance. I know that is hard when it has worked in the past for you. What other meds or therapy have you tried? (also, they've made it harder for doctors to prescribe controlled substances).
t know where you live, but in the US, Percocet is a controlled substance, and purchasing it without a prescription can lead to big trouble. See a doctor. This is not a medication that anyone should be purchasing online. Apart from the fact that it is highly addictive, the online sellers who make it available are not likely to be trustworthy, and you could be purchasing expired medication, or medication that has been tampered with, or totally fake medication.
I was wondering if there are any medical journal publications or any other articles that may help my doctor to see that there is at least a chance that I did not break the controlled substance agreement I signed for her? I am just so confused and they won't prescribe the Ambien for me anymore which I need even more than the Xanax.
