Doesn't work for me. If Melatonin and benadryl help you sleep, then most likely this drug will to. If on the other hand, those drugs do not work, then this one isn't going to either. I fall into the latter. Ambien by far has been the most effective for me for my chronic sleep issues. I don't wake up groggy or have the weird behavior some have stated taking Ambien.

Everyone's system/situation is different so you have to just find which one works for you. There is no "one pill fits all".

I developed a chronic disruption of my circadian as a result of a brain surgery to remove a pituitary tumor. My brain cannot tell night from day, so it doesn't know when to sleep or be awake. It's a neurological/ endocrine complication. I was prescribed some seven different sleep medications from Ambien to Trazadone. NOTHING WORKED. Rozerem works because it binds with melatonin receptors in the brain, thus substituting for the melatonin that is not being released at the right time. The only issue I have is that I need to take TWO during the night because it only lasts for about 3.5 hours. To take two, I have to have prior authorization for the insurance company to cover it, and it is EXPENSIVE! So that is a pain to have to reauthorize every year. Unless you have this specific type of circadian rhythm disorder, don't waste your time. Try something else.

This medication didn't work for me, and I was given the standard 8mg While in the hospital in addition to this medication I was also given 10mg Valium and 15mg oxycodone for pain. Along with Benadryl and still nothing...no sleep. When I asked what this drug does to actually make someone sleep. I was told it's just like melatonin just stronger. Maybe for someone who doesn't have a reall ... Show Full Comment

Maybe for someone who doesn't have a really bad disorder it could work but if you have real sleep issue I personally don't think it will help you.
