Remeron vs Rozerem
 | Remeron |  | Rozerem |  |
| Mirtazapine is used to treat depression. It improves mood and feelings of well-being. Mirtazapine is an antidepressant that works by restoring the balance of natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain. | This medication is used to treat sleeplessness (insomnia). It helps you fall asleep faster so you can get a full night's rest. Sleep is important for your ability to function, think clearly, and remain alert. Lack of sleep can cause problems such as depression, heart disease and accidents. Getting enough sleep allows your mind and body to repair itself and increases your energy throughout the day. Ramelteon works like a natural substance called melatonin that is produced by your body. It helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). | |||

| Add Remeron review This medicine works very well for me, and does not have the negative sexual side effects of the SSRI's I'm in the last stages of COPD. I have been taking every med for Depression & with out any luck.I've been taking Remeron 15 MG for the past week & I couldn't feel any better. Has changed my mom, she seems to be in lala land, without a care in the world. This bothers me because she is usually talkative and more alert. Since taking this drug she seems too not care about anything. I use this drug as a combo with Paxil to combat anxiety and depression. It works well and I love the appetite stimulant! It helps me rest and I am definitely satisfied. The drug Remeron itself works great. I noticed slight itchy torso with a 15 mg dose, when I was directed to take 30 mg day, I have major itching in my torso and then spread from there. I was told to just stop taking it cold turkey. | Add Rozerem review I was prescribed Rozerem by a sleep specialist following an overnight sleep lab test. Following surgery for a brain (pituitary tumor) issue with serious post op complications. One chronic complication is a disruption of the circadian rhythm (think chronic jet lag!). I had tried OTC melatonin which turned out to be useless because the active ingredient is mostly destroyed in the digestive process. But the first metabolite of Rozerem mimics melatonin because it binds to the melatonin receptors in the brain. Because I have a neurological condition, all other sleep meds were abysmal failures. Rozerem is the only one that really gives me 7-8 hours of sound sleep and I have been taking it for six years! Other sleep meds may work for run of the mill insomnia, but for insomnia resulting from chronic disruption of the circadian rhythm, Rozerem is IT! This med worked for a week and a half then it just stopped. It just stopped. Iquit taking it for 3 days then went back but cannot fall asleep for 4 hrs and that's with a pm pill added in. I don't care for it and I paid a fortune for it. | |||
