On top of my usual mirtazapine I have been using zopiclone and zolpidem
via prescription as my insomnia is a dangerous joke. Recently I've experienced extreme mood swings the day after taking either drug. Anyone else have similar problems?
-
Zopiclone made me feel drugged up and physically unwell but no mood side effects
can you talk it through with your psych hun?
-
Don't see psych till next week but took myself off it. Not really slept much since tuesday. Look like a zombie extra
-
have you been using them at the same time or separately?
I take zopiclone on top of mirtazapine and don't find it makes me really moody. Is there anything else that might be contributing to moodiness (time of the month etc...)
-
Hey I've been on them both seperately I found the zolpiclone stopped working for me after a few weeks, whereas the zolpedem helped a lot more I didn't find I was particularly zombied on them but was changed to tramazapam (might have spelt wrong) which helped me sleep through better but side effects are a lot worse, anyway hope it helps you :hug1: xx

I would be very wary of mixing the two medications. It seems odd to me that a doctor would even do this. I too have chronic insomnia and have been put on Sulpride, then Quetiapine, Zolpidem, Zopiclone, Temazepam, Melatonin and a couple of Benzos. But never, have the Drs. (Clincal Forensic Psychiatrist) mixed them.

I wasn't mixing the sleeping pills used either one separately with my mirtazapine as the doc told me to. I'm only taking the ads now no sleepers
