Whether or not you can get high off Lunesta, I won't argue. I have never taken a prescription sleeping pill and am not an addict. But you can still abuse it and use it addictive-ly. During my boyfriend's active addiction (prescription painkillers), I had bought a bottle of 100 capsules of Benadryl. It's the only thing I take if I have trouble sleeping. Benadryl is what they put in Tylenol PM to make you sleepy. When I finally went to open the bottle a couple weeks or so later, over half the bottle was gone. MY BF had been taking 4-5 at a time. Yes, it wasn't to get "high", it was to go to sleep, but taking them like that is still an addictive behavior. Maybe you are using the word high to mean from speed/cocaine/etc. But a lot of drugs are CNS depressants, not stimulants. So I can very easily see how someone who enjoys depressants would abuse sleeping pills.
And with Rozerem, I hadn't known how it worked, but someone above said it works through Melatonin receptors. So I am thinking for someone who is used to the sedative effects of a sleeping pill, where you just get knocked out, Rozerem wouldn't work anywhere close to the same/as effectively. I don't know who they are marketing Rozerem to. Maybe it's supposed to be an alternative for people who have never taken sleeping pills. Cause I don't see how someone could go from taking a hypnotic-class sleeping pill to Rozerem and have it work effectively for them. But, again, I don't have any personal experience with taking sleeping pills, so I don't know!
