hi I was prescribed these last year cant remember the doze but one tablet done it for me I hadn't slept for weeks due to weening off mirtazapine but one was enough and I slept like a log.obviously you are over doing it and you need to talk about it with your doctor.

best thing you could have done hopefully you haven't suffered internal problems by over doing it.

I have been taking a large tranche of medications for the last thirty years. I am sad to say sixty nine and I have group 3 Kidney Failure, in other words one of my kidneys has stopped working, Also I still suffer from all my confirmed health conditions. Drugs do suppress although sometimes that is the only benefit.

Yes I am sixty nine years old, however that does not take away the damage caused over time.

You are not doing your body any favours, you need to follow medication instructions

As mentioned above talk to your GP and give yourself a break

Welcome

I took zopiclone for 7 yrs but only ever took 1/2 tablet because i was warned about how addictive they are, but i did eventually start to take 1/2 tablet daily instead of 2-3 times a week which i was doing ( plus hated the taste of them & the groggy feeling the following morning). I went to Dr who said i need to wean off them slowly , it took me a year to come off them & kept getting anxiety because of the thought of going to bed without taking them, that was 2 years ago and would not take them again, Good luck & try and wean off them slowly.

You didn't start on that amount but have built yourself up to that amount as your body has become tolerant to Zoliclone. I had this with a different sleeper that's very addictive. Go to a dr ASAP and tell them how many you're taking. Hopefully you will be referred to a substance misuse centre when you can be safely and professionly dropped down. It's dangerous to take the amount you're on.
