October 13, 2006 - Great news for people who suffer from insomnia or sleep disorders is that according to sources, "the sleep medication rozerem has been found to have no symptoms of drug abuse."
Other medications such as Xanax, Valium and Halcion -- are commonly used to treat insomnia but are found to be more prone to the risk for abuse and can cause problems with cognition (thinking, learning and memory), and motor impairments that may make driving dangerous and increase the risk of falls among older adults, according to background information in the study.
Based upon a study, it has been proved that rozerem works in a very different way as compared to other medications. In this study, 14 patients were observed for a period of 18 days with histories of abusing sedatives.
They received different doses of: ramelteon (16, 80 or 160 milligrams); the benzodiazepine receptor agonist triazolam/Halcion (0.25, 0.5 or .75 milligrams); and a placebo.
The patients were asked about their responses to the drugs/placebo and were assessed in a number of areas, including cognitive and motor function, and impairment.
In terms of effects on the patients, the study found no differences between the three doses of ramelteon and the placebo.
"In contrast, triazolam showed dose-related effects on a wide range of subject-rated, observer-rated and motor and cognitive measures, consistent with its profile as a sedative drug with abuse liability," the study authors wrote.
