Hi all, I have had sleep problems for the last 6 years. I started on zopiclone about 18 months ago which are great most of the time for getting me off to sleep, however I still wake up to 3 times during the night and wake in the morning feeling like i've had no sleep. I take 3.75mg as my normal dose, sometimes I take 7.5 and sometimes when i'm hyper (i'm bipolar) i take the max dose of 10.75mg.
The thing is, as I'm still not getting a restful sleep very often, what do I do.
I have depression and post traumatic Stress disorder and am currently on Mirtrazipine, Venoflaxine, Quitiepine and Zopiclone I have been treated for this since my mid twenties, last year I had three small focal seizures which no pathology found. I am now about to start on Sodium Valproate increasing dosage initially to 250mg in morning and 500mg at night this is being prescribed primarily as a mood stabiliser but is thought to help stop the seizures.
However, this is disputed by one study of low dose zopiclone taken for only 7 nights. It found that discontinuation of zopiclone caused significant rebound insomnia. Furthermore when midazolam taken for 7 nights was discontinued no rebound insomnia occurred suggesting that zopiclone may have even more significant problems of tolerance and dependence than the benzodiazepines. After 3 weeks of use mild to moderate rebound withdrawal symptoms appear upon discontinuation of zopiclone.
Hi I have been taking zopiclone for 6 years to relieve sleep problems at first and then started to take them in the day to calm me..I am now up to about 10 7.% mg a day off the internet...I want this to stop now, I am also alcoholic but no longer drink, Im scared if I stop the zopiclone too quickly I will have seizures as I did with alcohol withdrawl....
t taken any tramadol today. Although I am tempted, and will, unless my friend can find for me some Zopiclone from when she used to take it, I'll need to take a couple later at bed time as I ran out of Zopiclone.
So this long winded answer really is just saying that I know this is wreckless of me, but I know it is and to the best of my ability have anticipated how wreckless it is.
I have been prescribed zopiclone 7.5mg for 4 weeks by my doctor. It was supposed to be 1 at night but i find 1/2 a tablet helps me get 6-7 good hrs which i am happy with. my question is will i get withdrawal from taking 1/2 tablet nightly for 4 weeks if i stop or will i need to taper? Also is it realistic to expect my liver to repair itself given time....i have no symptoms of liver damage....i'm asking just in case?
How effective is Zopiclone as a sleeping aid?Is it effective?.
I am taking zopiclone 1/2 of a 7.5 mg tablet. I would like to stop taking this medication. Can I use glycine powder to help me get off of the zopiclone?
If these two drugs are cross tollerant will your physical addiction will just swap over and you'll go into withdrawl once you stop taking the zopiclone, even though zopiclone is not a benzo?
Just saw my doctor and she gave me an RX for Zoloft (was on Trazadone but that stopped working). Also, back on zopiclone. 1x 7.5 MV tab for one month, then I will taper.
Is this the right thing to do? Or should I tough it out for another 7 days and hope I sleep again?
I have no drowsy feeling or sleepiness. That never comes to me. Or hasn't come to me since stopping zopiclone. Will this ever come back? Help!
I am currently using Zopiclone during the daytime as an anxiolytic and am worried about my overuse and addicition isssues. Would be glad of an y advice or suggestions as to how to cut down - this is really becoming a big scare for me.
My doctor prescribed me trazodone hydrochloride for anxiety, sumatriptan succinate for migraines, zopiclone for sleep, I've been told I can take the trazodone with zopiclone, but I have the new sumatriptan tablets, it says in the medical pamphlet that it is an MAO-A inhibitor and can't be taken with antidepressants/anxiety tablets.
Would it be ok to take both the trazodone hydrochloride and the sumatriptin succinate together?
I've been taking zopiclone to help me sleep which I think it works but only getting about 3-4 hours sleep from them... I came of zopiclone tablets yesterday and found it really hard to get any sort of sleep but I don't want to live my life through taking them...
t have those, I never drink any alcohol but I do take topriamate for seizures and zopiclone for sleep.
Like I put in an earlier post I have been off zopiclone for 9 days now think I have managed the worse part but not sure , I still feel out of sorts, slightly nervous and muscle and neck ache, but heres the real question for all who would help My husband is taking me to punta cana sunday morning and the drugist says he thinks the worst is over too but thinks I should bring the existing prescription with me, I do take prestiq which im not in a big hurry to get off of but unsure as to what to do, a
My hot flashes are now looked after by the ERT but the sleep problems aren’t. I have been on Zopiclone for the past 7 months; am now taking 5 mg at bedtime and 5 more mg in the middle of the night. I still wake up 6-8 times in between, never getting more than 2-3 hours at a stretch, am exhausted and moody. In January my PCP started me on Effexor XR and he wants to double it to 150mg help boost norepinephrine. I had a hard time with nausea when I started it and hesitate.
