Rozerem -Cut in half?


Recommended Posts

I am trying to see if ican wean myself off Rozerem since I now take Seroquel also. I tried taking half a pill last night but couldn't sleep. I wonder if I gave in too soon.

It does say not to split pills but is worth a try. They cost me $100/mo with insurance.

Has anyone tried this?

I wouldn't split them, either. I thought this med didn't work, but it just took about 3-4 days before doing its thing. Now it's my favorite sleep med. I've gone from 1-2 hours a night to 7 hours most nights (my big problem was always falling asleep). 

PROS: no next day hangover

CONS: useless if you wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep

You cant get rozerem in anyhting other than an 8mg dosage. Maybe switch over to melatonin and see if that helps?  Yes, I know its not melatonin but Rozerem's basically super expensive prescription only melatonin on steroids. It acts on melatonin receptors the same way melatonin does, just more targeted and potent.

 

It's nice to see a couple of folks it actually works for. I got a bunch of smaples years ago and it didnt do a thing. It doesnt have a very good rep for being effective.

 

But anyway, maybe try regular or time release melatonin? I wouldnt begin to know what dose might be close to rozerem but maybe worth a shot.
