Zopilcone

[Mathewsmith]

I have been taking 3.75 my of Zopiclone for about three months.

I like the way it gives me a good night sleep but I think it’s now causing day time anxiety. It’s time to stop.

I have cut the dose in half. Any suggestions on how long I should take to come off.

Any one else had the daytime anxiety side effect?

I suffer from mild depression (which has at times been worse ) also NASH

I find use of Zopiclone makes my depression/ anxiety worse if taken regularly

I cut 3.75 tablet in half but only take when absolutely desperate usually once or twice week . Not a perfect solution but best I can come up with as knowledge of the relation between liver problems & insomnia seems to be zero

Thank you that’s helpful. I am taking a half of 3.75 with the aim of coming off. I don’t know if it’s increased by anxiety of it my mood disorder.

Thank you that is interesting. There is not much information as to who these medicines affect people. My Dr gives me about 14 then does not want to give me more. This is why I am trying to stop them slowing. Once I take one I feel calm too.

I was prescribed Zopiclone a few months ago and have used perhaps 6 times; my anxiety and depression are noticeable worse the day after taking it, and lasts for a couple of days. It's not worth it for me so I have decided not to take it again.

HI.this is my first posting but have been looking up side effects of Zopiclone as I feel so bad.Been taking 7.5 mgs for chronic insomnia for about 3 years.Previously taking Nitrazepam 5 mgs but it stopped working.I never realised the connection with Zopiclone and this terrible anxiety/agitation and I can hear blood pounding in my head.I feel so anxious and in constant dread and on edge.I will have to try and wean off gradually from Zopiclone.Has anybody tried this and have any got these feelings.I cannot lay down to relax or have a snooze as its like a light switched on/off in my head.Once i wake i have to jump out.I take Bisoprolol and have A.F and was blaming the A.F and recent cardioversion for this terrible anxiety.Also have underactive Thyroid and so on a search engine today somewhere this is not recommended for people with this condition.
