Zopiclone (a sleep tragedy)

I've been involved with zopiclone a couple times a week for the last fifteen years for sleep. We worked pretty well together with some minor grogginess in our relationship the next day .The last few years I've noticed restlessness throughout the body akin to what I feel with RLS when I bed down with zopiclone. This is a new and unfortunate development.

I've still been taking it lately in hope that it will return to it's former glory like a trusty old friend. But, I am at the point where the symptoms occur everytime.

Et tu Brute. Now go join the long list of medications that have failed me.

Moreover, I am also leary of your accomplice lorazepam, who sidles up next you in the medicine cabinet. While not outwardly treacherous as you zopiclone, it too has started to give me the heebie jeebies when we interact.

So tomorrow I will call upon my doctor to reintroduce me to lovely Lunesta, with whom I once had a brief but underwhelming affair. I promise to be more open to your hypnotic ways this time dear, so that when we sleep together it will be divine.

I was a bit heady from zopiclone when I posted this. Barely remember doing it. One of the side effects of being awake on the drug. Apologies for clogging up the board with this less than important personal affectation.
