Sleep Drug Rozerem & Side Effects

Taken from a major magazine. Word for word.

**********

Your dreams miss you. When you can't sleep you can't dream. But now there is Rozerem, a sleep aid like no other. Rozerem is approved for adults having trouble falling asleep. In fact, it's the first and only prescription sleep aid that in clinical studies shows no potential for abuse or dependence... Take it when you need it, stop when you don't.

Your doctor can explain why Rozerem is so different. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Don't take if you're taking Luvox or have severe liver problems. Avoid taking it with alcohol.

Don't drive or operate machinery until you know how you will react to Rozerem. Rozerem may affect some hormones.

Consult your doctor about how this may affect you, of if your insomnia doesn't improve.

Take Rozerem right before bed. Side effect may include drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness.

Ask your doctor if Rozerem is right for you. Your dreams miss you.

Margie's note... Then in teeny tiny print I had to use a magnifying glass to read it went on...

WARNINGS (their large print not mine) since sleep disturbances may be the presenting manifestation of a physical and/or psychiatric disorder, symptomatic treatment of insomnia should be initiated only after a careful evaluation of the patient.

The failure of insomnia to remit after a reasonable period of treatment may indicate the presence of a primary psychiatric and/or a medical illness that should be evaluated. Worsening of insomnia, or the emergence of new cognitive or behavioral abnormalities, may be the result of an unrecognized underlying psychiatric or physical disorder and requires further evaluation of the patient.

As with other hypnotics, exacerbation of insomnia and emergence of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities were seen with Rozerem during the clinical development stage.

Rozerem should not be used by patients with severe hepatic impairment. It should not be used in combination with fluvoxamine.

A variety of cognitive and behavior changes have been reported to occur in association with the use of hypnotics. In primarily depressed patients, worsening of depression, including suicidal, ideation, has been reported.

Patients should avoid engaging in hazardous activities that require operating a motor vehicles or heavy machinery after taking it.

It has been associated with an effect on reproductive hormones in adults, decreased testosterone levels and increased prolatin levels...

Patients should be advised they should not take Rozerem with or immediately after a high-fat meal.

Contact your doctor if this product results in cessation of menses or galactorrhea in females, decreased libido or problems with fertility.

Pregnant women or those who might become pregnant should not take this product. Don't use unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Rozerem is secreted into the test animals but no tests have been done to see if this does the same thing to human a fetus.

Personal opinion from Margie. I am forever and sadly astounded at the number of people who will take any prescription the doctor gives them and NEVER reads the small print.

Since you rarely see you doctor for more than 3 or 4 minutes (that is the time allotted to you) do not blame him for not telling you all this. He only knows what the company reps tell him who are selling him on pushing their drugs.

If after reading the side effects you still take it do not blame anyone but yourself when these side effects hit you.

One doctor commented to me that the odds are so high that it would affect you, than why not take it. Well if I am one of those it effects the odds were 100%.

Again I tell about my son's ex wife, (we remained friendly) who let her baby get the shots the doctor and the government said he had to take and he had an allergic reaction and went into a coma. Died within months. It was and still is a travesty of what is happening today to over 410,934 people in the United State who die each year due to the wrong prescription, or the wrong dose of medications given to them by the hospitals and their doctors.

Just read the small print. Your life may depend on it.
