Question about Rozerem
| Tue, 11-22-2005 - 5:33pm |
Hi! I'm new here, I just visited the board yesterday for the first time. I'm 26 and have been having anxiety/panic attacks and DEFINITE trouble sleeping. I was prescribed Effexor about three weeks ago, and it has already been working wonders, but it hasn't really improved my sleep; so the doc prescribed Rozerem. I am picking it up this evening; so I haven't tried it yet. I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it and how has it worked for you?
Thanks!!

I took effexor for 3 years & it successfully treated my panic with minimal side effects. I do know that sleeping can be a problem for some folks. Especially if they take their meds too close to bedtime. When do you take the effexor? As for your new med, I'm not familiar with it. Hopefully someone else will be along who can tell you their experience. Keep in touch. If you have a chance, join in our chat this evening. You are very welcome here. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
Thanks for your response! It turns out my insurance doesn't cover the Rozerem, so I won't be taking it after all. The nurse suggested I try melatonin.
I take the Effexor in the morning because I didn't want to risk it messing with my sleep. I actually don't have alot of trouble falling asleep -- it seems to be the staying asleep that I have trouble with :).
You said you took Effexor for three years? My doc said that when the time comes, she'll definitely wean me off of it slowly -- but I was wondering if you had any problems coming off?
Thanks!
