For Insomnia "The 8mg Rozerem does not work at all for me and I've tried it several times. The adverse effects were staying up until daylight, feeling crazy and anxious, hypnotic feeling of sleepiness but inability to shut down racing thoughts, and finally able to sleep lightly for a few hours with horrific nightmares. It took a while to fully function in the morning, I suppose from lack of quality sleep. I'm convinced that this is not for insomniacs like myself that need to shut down and crash peacefully for a good night's sleep."

For Insomnia "Having been a Xanax addict, no doctor will prescribe benzos for me anymore, which is a shame because they were the best for my insomnia. I was until recently just taking Clonidine and Gabapentin for sleep; the combination gives me 4 or 5 hours of broken sleep. Added Rozerem 8 mg to my sleep meds 3 weeks ago. It makes me fall asleep a little more quickly, and I have slept up to 5 continuous hours some nights. Getting nightmares, though, fairly horrible imagery, but they are worth it so far."

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 "So recently I got prescribed with Rozerem. I've been having trouble falling and staying asleep. I told my psychiatrist that I wanted to try melatonin, and he gave me Rozerem. It's been four days since I've been on it. Two out of four of those nights, I had very vivid dreams and nightmares. On the second day, I had two nightmares in a row. On the fourth day, another nightmare, and I've been up for two hours. It's 5:41 am at the moment. I wanted melatonin so I could sleep at night and lucid dream. I'd rather be active and do whatever I want in my dreams than live in this reality. I sleep when I'm overly stimulated and just overall depressed. I'm happy that my dreams are very vivid, but when I'm having a nightmare, I like to be aware so that I can either change my dream or just wake up. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. Yes, Rozerem works for putting me to sleep, but if you don't want to potentially have nightmares, I don't recommend it."

For Insomnia "Tried it a few times, but it gave me horrible, disturbing nightmares each time I used it! Besides that, it was not helpful in actually getting me to sleep."

For Insomnia "Dizzy. I was able to fall asleep with Rozerem 8 mg, but had nightmares, and the next day I felt like I was walking underwater and very, very dizzy. Will not be taking this again."
