Question About Rozerem

My doc gave me Rozerem today for sleep. I called to the company and a pharmacist for Takeda, the manufacturer of Rozerem told me that she could not confirm that it is gluten free. Furthermore, since the FDA is currently evaluating this med, she could not discuss any of the ingredients with me. :blink:

But, that my doctor could call her and as a courtesy to my doctor, she would discuss it with her. :blink:

Anyone else ? :ph34r: Is anyone using it ?

Here's the number 877-825-3327 ...

I got 3 and 1/2 hours of sleep last nite ( 12:30 - 3 and 6 - 8 ) and I may need a sleep med tonight. :unsure:

Thanks .. Marcia

Marcia,

I've never heard of it. I use Trazodone to help me sleep and it is gluten-free. Do you think you could get your doctor to write you a script for that? Have you tried it before?

I tried a friend's trazodone a couple of weeks ago and I slept great, but it gave me weird dreams. My doc told me that meant I shouldn't take it. But, thanks anyway. :)

I just got prescribed Rozerem but my insurance doesn't cover it... So I'm going to use up the rest of the Ambien I have and then try to get some free Rozerem samples from my doc next time I see him.

I don't like that answer! :blink:

Try googling the med and see if any articles come up about the FDA eval, if there are any issues with it.

Actually, I am good now. :)

Thanks for the replies :) , but I took Tom's advice from my other sleep med post ( I was going a little buggy there for awhile :rolleyes: ) and increased my activity level. And I have been sleeping like a log for a whole week now med and herbal tea free.

I took Rozerem for a while I don't think it has any gluten, I would feel it .

Rozerem helps to fall asleep and brings back the sleeping cycle ( that I lost for more than 20 years). But does not mean that I could sleep 8 hours in a row. Also I had very weird dreams. So with that med I go back and forth when I got the sleeping cycle I stop it . :unsure:

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
