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.

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

Anyone else ? 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.

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!

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 ) 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 .
