For Insomnia "I had a bad experience each time I tried it. I have been on Ambien for many years, but my doctor wanted to try something else. The Rozerem made me extremely anxious and did the opposite of what I needed it for! My heart beat fast, and I had a feeling of nervousness and anxiousness. I tried it 4 times, and it was the same all 4. Maybe I'm allergic."

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."

For Insomnia "Tried this one night. I had horrible nightmares, woke up with my heart beating rapidly, took about 2 hours to get back to sleep, went straight into the same nightmare. Repeated 4 times that night. Never will try again."

For Insomnia "Took this for two nights. Was wide awake all night, my heart racing. Now I'm crazy tired. Going back to my other meds which worked better."
