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:

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
