About the Rozerem...I have terrible insomnia and the one night I took Rozerem, I lay awake all night and did not sleep AT ALL.
I see a sleep specialist and she said that in her experience, Rozerem has either worked very well for her patients or not at all. You may fall in the "doesn't work at all" category. If you're not sleeping well, it goes without saying that is stressful in itself, plus being tired magnifies all of your daytime anxieties.
I have been taking Buspar for about 2 years, for anxiety. It's different than something like Xanax that you take as needed - I take Buspar twice a day, every day, and it took about a month before I felt any reduction in anxiety. I'm not sure that it's working as well now as it did when I first started taking it, but it might be an option for you.
I hope you feel better soon.
