I just wanted to report that Rozerem has worked wonderfully for my sleeping problems. Usually, I can't get to sleep before 3-4am and can never wake up before noon. Rozerem allows me to choose when I sleep and when I wake up, feeling rested no matter how many hours of sleep I had.
Sleep medications have been effective at getting me to sleep, but they all make me oversleep and leave me feeling groggy and drowsy in the morning. OTC melatonin has never done anything for me in the past and I don't think anyone with similar experience should write this off as a pharmaceutical melatonin; there seems to be a pronounced difference between the two.
I also should add that I'm currently taking EMSAM at 6mg which had made it much more difficult to fall asleep.
And yes, I am writing this at 3am. I don't have to be at school until tomorrow evening and I haven't taken my Rozerem, but perhaps this is an indication of how well it works for me. (Although I have gone several nights without it and there doesn't seem to be a problem with rebound insomnia.)
I only wish I had this when I was in highschool.
