Ambien and Rozerem are two different drugs used for sleeping disorders. Ambien is typically prescribed for short term use. On the other hand, Rozerem is given for long term use for insomnia. The generic name for Rozerem is Ramelteon, while that of the Ambien is called Zolpidem.
Ambien works with the natural brain chemical called GABA, which is produced in the brain. Rozerem, on the other hand, works with the melatonin receptors, which helps to reset the body’s circadian rhythm. Ambien has a reputation for being over-powering and addictive.
There have been numerous stories that involve people waking up in the middle of the night to cook or drive, but they do not remember doing so. These people have prescribed Ambien for sleep, but they ended up sleepwalking. Rozerem has lesser effects and lowers statistics when it comes to these effects. Rozerem drugs are far easier to work with since it is not a controlled substance.
