I was prescribed this 4days ago due to me suffering with severe insomnia/withdrawal symptoms from giving up smoking cannabis in 15 years. The first night I took these the longest I could sleep was 5hours then I woke up and was drifting in and out of sleep for the next 3-4 hours after but didn’t go back to sleep. The 2nd night was the same but the 3rd night could only sleep for 2hrs max & then again drifting in and out of sleep for the next 6 bludy hours.

It will be my 4th night taking them tonight and all I wana do is get a good bludy sleep. I’ve only bern prescribed these for 2weeks due to its extreme side effects. I’ve tried everything from taking part in leisure activities late at night to tire me out but nothing seems to work.

Have you tried going to the gym,swimming,jogging exhausting yourself out before your ready to go bed that might help,

I hear ya my mind races also and I can be tired one min yawning ready to go bed and then the next min I get an uncomfortable memory or thought and it can spiral me into insomnia where I end up worrying for hours on how to get to sleep.

I’m on my 10th day of taking them and out of the 10days the max I slept was 7hrs for 3days the other 7 days I had 3-4hrs max. They don’t work for me I finish my course in 5days and I’m going to try and sleep without them tonight unless I really need to take them. I think meditation music helps me drift off to sleep. Have u tried meditation not to sleep coz it sounds like your brain/body is already addicted to taking the Zopiclone unfortunately that’s the side effects I know. But maybe take 30 mins out of ur day to try it. Hang on did u say u take 2 what of 7.5mg?? Wow ur hardcore if so! How long u bern taking them for I suppose what may work for you may not work for others. Just be careful double dosing!

What positive things u got going on in ur life?
