Experiences with

Eszopiclone

Dear PMR friends, I was diagnosed with PMR in July of this year and prescribed 15 mg of Prednisolone by my GP who gave me a reduction chart and I am now down to 8 mg. I saw a different GP because I could not sleep who prescribed Zopiclone and said she would refer me to Rheumatologist. However the Rheumatologist

GP has suggested I try 10mg Nortriptyline and 3.5mg Zopiclone together, would it be safe, only asking as a friend has told me no to and it has put a doubt in my mind

I've had T since 2020 which I put it down to a mental breakdown , I must confess the first year i had thoughts of ending it all as it was very bad and the more I got stressed the worst it got. Until i got to grips with it , I took a very positive approach to it , i knew it was not going to kill me and

Hi everyone. I've been taking Zopiclone for the last couple of weeks (small doses of either 1/2 or even 1/4 of 3.75mg tablet). My GP has advised my to take 1/2 a 3.75mg tablet for two weeks taking it before going to bed (I've tried the method of going to bed and then taking a tablet if unable to get

I know that Zebrawhite and KitKat have both posted recently about their experiences on medication. I am still suffering on the antipsychotic Haloperidol and wanted to share what a real mess I feel. So I was put Haloperidol depot that's an injection in hospital last year 2023 January. I was put under

Hi all I suffered PPP back in November 2023 and had been on olanzapine since about 2 weeks ago. I was tapering down without any issues but since stopping completely I’ve had problems with sleep - mostly staying asleep, tossing and turning all night. My doctor prescribed me zopiclone, I guess because

Hi I had to come off pregabalin 3 weeks ago because of the horrendous weight gain I have to say it was working well apart from the weight gain, I've had terrible nights ever since and I've tried cbd oil and a massage mat in bed, needless to say none have worked, im waiting to get blood results from the

Hello, I am 22 years old, in the middle of exams, with stress-related insomnia. Scared of not getting enough sleep. I have zopiclone, but I don't want to take it unless I have an extreme insomnia episode (eg 48hr of no sleep). I was offered Nytol by my GP, the classical once a night formula. I also

I am in the middle of university exams and have been having periodic bouts of severe insomnia. Today, I had 4-5 hours of sleep before and exam because of it. I have been prescribed zopiclone to help me deal with this, but I really don't like taking it, due to it being addictive and the horrific taste

Hello, my first time to post here. I am a 55y old male, doing rounds with various consultants to see why I have random joint pains primarily. I also have numbness and cold feeling in my extremities. My ANA and dsDNA are the ones that the Neuro picked up on and has referred me to Rheumatology as he

I’ve been on Zopiclone for about 4 years now and have slowly upped the dose because they were becoming less effective. I’m currently on 60 mg a night, sometimes I wake in the night and top it up with 2 to 3 7.5mg tablets. I’m always fine the next day but I know they’re not good for me. I was thinking

Hi Until December last I was taking 40 mg iron bisglycinate with orange juice every two days. Since this had little impact on my RLS I increased the iron dose to 40mg every day from December until now. As yet I have noticed little change to my RLS symptoms. A blood test this month showed my ferritin

Some of you are familiar with my story so far so I will make this brief. Three years ago I was taking 6mg Pramepexole. It took me nearly three years to taper the dose down to 1.25. My idiotic Neurologist said he would no longer treat me unless I stoped taking Pramipexole. He writes my prescriptions

Its a year now since I started the worst journey of my life getting off Ropinrole but I did it and Im proud . Yes daytime and evenings are much better but nights are still pure hell . I have had one nights sleep in a year and that was 1til 6am .Interestingly I was out that evening and only had 600 mgs

Has anyone taken Zopiclone and found their legs kick off massively when you should be hopefully falling asleep instead ??!

Hi everyone, Hope you are all well. I have spoken about this issue before in my previous posts and was given a lot of advice on what I can do to help me sleep. A little background: In January I started my full time 6mths placement (training) as a pharmacy student or a trainee. This is my second

You're very lucky to have been prescribed pregabalin, an opioid, and sleeping pills. You have a generous doctor. Pregabalin is great for insomnia, by itself - I'd ask for an increased dose now personally, seeing as the zopiclone has been stopped. 300mg of preg is a standard dose.Personally I'm cursed

I have been taking Pregabalin now for quite a few years but the side effects are beginning to get me down I suffer badly with insomnia which is really effecting my quality of life My balance is bad and I’m afraid of falling when I go out dizziness too! i tried to get some more zopiclone from my GP

Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Hi all, Had a pretty tricky last few months, was diagnosed with endocarditis at the start of November (had been feeling ill for a few weeks before), the infection responded well to IV antibiotics over a 6 week period so that was a positive. However due to several other developments I also needed
