Zopiclone Withdraw

[worrier]

I am in my 3rd week of coming off zopiclone, some nights I sleep, other nights I am awake all night and then I have a bad day!!! My therapist says that I have to make a sleep window, not go to bed until 2am and get up at 8am whether I slept or not. I did well for the first week but the second week was hard and now the 3rd week is getting unbearable but I am determind to stay off the tablets. Has anyone been in my situation and how long before sleep becomes a normal part of my life again. My therapist says sleeping will happen, its like holding your breathe, you have to let it go and she says sleep will happen just like that but I am getting to the end of my tether. My doctor wont describe these tablets anymore so I have to be strong....

My GP changed me from Temazepam to Zopiclone a month ago, I haven't slept for longer than 3 hours at any one time since. Rink it was because he now controls his own budget and only prescribes the cheapest alternative, thanks Cameron!
