If rozerem is prescribed to you, you can use it. If not prescribed - you need to consult first.

You need to be careful about the drug interactions. Tegretol (carbamazepine) can reduce levels of rozerem (ramelteon) whereas faverin (fluoxamine) can increase it. Faverin can increase levels of tegretol and that can be worrisome if not closely monitored. There are other solutions for your ocd. Please consult for further assessment and counselling which would help you comprehensively.
