My doctor gave me ambien months ago but he took me off it after I told him that my girlfriend has reported me sleep walking, and one night I made about 10 calls on my cell phone singing to people (my girlfriend played me the message I left her) and not remembering it. Very rare side effect.

Given that knowledge what is another prescription sleep aid that might help that wont produce those side effects?

How do you like/dislike the new sleep aid, ROZEREM?




If you’re taking Rozerem, the newest prescription sleep aid, or if you’ve taken it before, I’d love to know what you do or don’t like about it. :)

I’ve been thinking of asking my doctor for it, as it apparently has zero capacity to become "addictive". It also sounds like the most "natural" drug in how it works. FYI: I don’t need sleep help all the time. I only need help when I have to go to bed abnormally early on a particular night, due to having to rise abnormally early the next morning.

My normal "sleep onset" is somewhat late, but that’s OK usually, since my work schedule is flexible and my commute is short. HOWEVER, if I need to be up super-early to catch a plane, leave for a roadtrip, etc., I’d ideally like to go to bed extra early the night before. But, no luck!! :( I’ve tried chamomile, Benadryl, melatonin, meditation, warm baths — I just can’t fall asleep at a time my body &/or brain perceives as "way too early".

THAT’S when I hope a pill like Rozerem can help! :)
