I have been addicted not that I ever admited it to myself to Zopiclone for 8 years but More in the last 2 years after sadly loosing both my parents. I take them all day to get rid of the horrific side effects...my doctor is not aware of the severity of my dependence but I am seeing a drug counceler next week.. Its so nice to hear I am not on my own as I thought I was the only one that took so many... I have tried all the alternatives but nothing works :( I hate that its taken over some of my life

Hi elphie

I am sorry to hear about your loss , this must have been a very difficult time for you

Please don't feel bad about getting dependent on the meds it happens to the best of us but you have made a huge step & are half way there by admitting you have a problem & well done for doing so !

I hope you will open up with the counselor & tell them just how it is they will have heard it all before & then you can start getting the help you truly deserve !

Also after seeing them it might help you to feel confident enough to tell your doctor as I am sure they will support you to

Good Luck & let us know how you get on

Take Care

I think Munchie has summed it up brilliantly so I cant really add to that, but well done for seeking help!!
