I have seen the commercial on TV for that med, is it otc or prescription?
My p-doc has me on Klonapin 3x a day if needed, one in am, one at noon, and two at bedtime. I usually only take the 2 at bedtime along with my trazadone and it works. I only take the klonapin during the day if I get upset or anxiety kicks in. Maybe your p-doc could up your klonapin at night. Hugs, Nikko |

So many people can't sleep. One of the many I tried but all it did was give me a headache and I couldn't sleep because of that.
I wish I had some Pixie dust too Bizi. I hope you sleep well tonight.

I am amazed at how manyof us have sleeping problems.
Why can't we jsut sleep like normal folks ya know..jsut get tired and go to bed and sleep. rozeram is a prescription pill similar to melatonin, that never worked for me but my pdoc said it was different because it worked on the receptor sights. anyway than you for you kind words.... curious 3 hours is all you get...how the heck do you do that? also girlie, I would love some of PJ's magic pixie dust...has anyone heard from her????? bizi

Dear Bizi,
The talk on the crazymeds boards seems to say that Rozerem takes a week or two to start working. http://www.crazymeds.org/cgi-bin/yab...=1174386398/10 Quote:
I hope you sleep. Mari |

I couldn't sleep again and decided to do some research and found this: http://bipolar.about.com/cs/sleep/a/0002_mood_sleep.htm She's known about my lack of sleep so maybe this is what she meant when she said I didn't want to get better since I told her I was "afraid" of the Klonopin and wouldn't take it?? I think I've changed my mind and will try it again.

Bizi,
That's what they where giving me in the hospital, to no avail. They would pass out meds at 10pm and at 12 if you were'nt sleeping they would give you another. Plus Haldol! Has the world turns, I take ambein, it stinks I have to get off it. To many addiction problems. They had me Trazadone but I could'nt make it out of bed the next day, to druggie feeling.. Hope you get relief. Funeral was yesterday for my friend; "what a day". Her parents I spent allot of time with, told me; I had to move on and put it behind me. Like everything here easier said than done, but in my heart of hearts I know their right.. |
