Title: Rozerem: Anyone tried it?
Post by boomer14 on Jan 15^th, 2007, 3:00pm

My partner was detailed by a rep on Rozerem which apparently acts upon Melatonin receptor sites to aid sleep. I have had less night time attacks since taking 9mg of Melatonin at night. He gave me 6 days of samples to try as he thought it may help my symptoms, though I hate to stray from the improvement I have had from the OTC melatonin if others have had less than positive experiences with it. Leaning towards giving it a try tonight as I have been having a few breakthrough nighttime attacks of late. If so, I will definitely report my experiences with it.

Boomer - From your other post -- saw you're on verap -- did a quick interaction check and found the following:

The following drug-drug interactions are found:

Verapamil ( Calan® | Calan® SR | Covera-HS® | Isoptin® | Isoptin® SR | Verelan® | Verelan® PM) and Ramelteon ( Rozerem™)
Severity: Moderate

Verapamil can cause increases in the amount of Ramelteon in the blood. Taking these drugs together can increase the risk of serious side effects

Another great reason why none of us should take any drugs (in any amount) unless told to do so by our own doctors.

I took Rozerem for awhile ( I still have a few ). Actually they may have helped me sleep while preventing some nighttime attacks. No noticable side effects to report.
