Rozerem -- any stories?

Posted by yxibow on December 24, 2006, at 3:53:23

I'm currently test using Rozerem to wash out Ambien from my system because at 20mg Ambien does very little. I may return to either it or Lunesta (although Lunesta would have to be at 4+ mg) later on.

Apparently according to my psychopharmacologist, it has 17x the power of OTC Melatonin (targeted at MT1 and 2).

I did try OTC Melatonin 5mg once and I can safely say it gave me... a bit less than 4 hours of sleep and I woke up in the middle of some REM cycle in some pseudo-psychotic state of night terrors. It was pins and needles tossing for the rest of the night -- I hadn't had such wierd night experiences since I tried Risperdal about 5 years ago for unrelated things.

Anyhow, Rozerem 8mg with 5mg of Ambien to taper gives me just under 8 hours of sleep, at least at first try. I'm an insomniac, because this is also with nearly 800mg of Seroquel.

Sleep is very important to my very complex and aggravating anxiety disorder -- it tends to be supportive.
