For Insomnia "I took this for the first time last night. I have had insomnia for years now, and nothing has helped; gabapentin and clonidine, doxepin, amitriptyline, so many OTCs. My doc put me on this med, and it did not help me fall asleep at all. It didn’t give me anxiety or anything like that, just had no effect. The reason I’ll NEVER take this med again is the horrible headache I had when I woke up. This is probably the worst headache I’ve ever had, and I can’t seem to get rid of it. This med isn’t for everyone."

For Insomnia "I try going to bed around 9 pm, in order to try to get some sleep, but usually wake up in the middle of the night at 3-4 am, and can't go back to sleep. Last night I took my first tablet as prescribed. Today I feel fatigue, dizzy, headache, blah. What do I take to compensate for these side effects? Or, will they go away after my second dosage?"

For Insomnia "I tried Rozerem upon doctor's request. First night, I was not sure if it worked or not. The next day, I took a nap around 2 pm and felt horrible after waking. Headache and utter exhaustion. Tried for the second night and was unable to sleep until 4 am. It gave me a feeling of anxiety."

For Insomnia "This medication has made me severely suicidal. It is a literal nightmare after taking it only once. I have had severe insomnia since I was a child, which has only gotten worse with age. After visiting a sleep clinic, I was prescribed this medication, but it put me in such a bad place mentally. Instead of taking my usual over-the-counter sleeping pill, I took this and began to feel drowsy about ten minutes later. Unfortunately, my heart started racing, and I have found myself in a state between severe anxiety/alertness and drowsiness/sickness since 11:00 pm. It's now 4:30 am, and I'm experiencing a severe headache and anxiety, but I also feel dizzy, drowsy, and nauseous, yet I'm too wired to sleep. This feels like something they would give people in a concentration camp to torture them. I've now taken my over-the-counter sleeping pills to try to combat the effects of this medication that I cannot believe is even on the market. It will be a miracle if I'm even alive tomorrow."
