Zopiclone
« on: June 14, 2013, 07:19:05 AM »
Hey peeps,

Has anyone here been on zopiclone long term, if so, for how long and has it still worked?

I've been on sleeping tablets for years but I want to change to zopiclone!

I'm on zolpidem.   Zopiclone gave me headaches and affected my mood. It also stopped working early on.  Many sleepers do that what sleep meds you on now? Xx

I tried zolpidem but it didn't work, it kept me asleep for about three hours, I think it has a short half life. I've changed my sleepers in order to find one that's effective. I was on phennergen now I'm on zopiclone and it does work when I really practise good sleep hygiene with it. I used to be on temazepam and rohypnol they worked but that was under a private psych I don't think my gp would give me temazepam or rohypnol now.

I've tried most sleepers... but the only ones I've found any good is chloral betaine... and mirtazapine taken at night together... ?

zopiclone was OK for a few nights but quickly built a tolerance to it... xx

They're not meant for long term use hence why they can become ineffective.

I'm back on the Phennegan tonight, lets see if it works at all.

The taste of Zopiclone is awful!
