I'm surprised you managed with Restoril for a year -- generally benzodiazepine sleep agents don't last that long for people as they get acclimated quickly; it is a metabolite of Valium.
Rozerem was created (besides marketing) I suppose for people who were already accustomed to benzodiazepines. Lunesta, Ambien, etc, will not work if you are to any degree habituated to a benzodiazepine, in general.
But it is a weak agent, so if you don't really respond much to melatonin either, you probably wont respond much to it. It is one of those hit and miss drugs.
