Rozerem—Treat Insomnia With Rozerem, a Prescription Sleep Medicine: What to expect with Rozerem

Home / About Rozerem / What to Expect With Rozerem

Rozerem can help you fall asleep fast

What a difference being able to fall asleep can make. It’s not only satisfying in itself, but it can also help you wake up ready to take on the day. Rozerem is a one-of-a-kind prescription sleep medication that can help you feel that difference.

Not a sedative

Rozerem won’t make you feel sedated

Rozerem is not classified as a sedative, so it's not likely you'll feel sedated after you take it. Instead, Rozerem helps you sleep by working with your normal sleep-wake cycle. So you may feel like you are gently drifting off to sleep.

Does not affect balance or memory

Rozerem is different from other medications

Unlike other prescription sleep aids, Rozerem has not been shown to affect balance or memory. And this may be because of the way Rozerem is thought to work.

Studies have also shown there is no scientific evidence that Rozerem will lead to abuse or dependence. So you can take Rozerem as long as you need to and stop when you don’t.

Knowing what to expect with your sleep medication can make all the difference. If you still have more questions about Rozerem, read our FAQs and ask your doctor if Rozerem is right for you.
