Hi jono2207 and thank you for your post. It is not advisable to suddenly stop taking Zopiclone without telling your doctor as you may get withdrawal symptoms. This is when, for a few days or weeks, your insomnia returns more intensely than before. You may also feel anxious, restless, have mood changes and become very sensitive to light, noise and being touched. Your doctor may suggest that you reduce your dose of Zopiclone slowly over a few days or weeks to prevent withdrawal symptoms. Please discuss with your doctor regarding herbal/natural remedies to replace Zopiclone. He/she will be able to advise you. Please let us know how you get on with this. Take care. Thank you and best wishes.
