Update On Mental Health A Bit Better- Anyone Been On Zopiclone

[gordiescotland1]

I went to see GP this morning and he has prescribed me zopiclone 3.75mg to try and get a good nights sleep over the next 3 nights and hopefully it will help my paranoia. I went to see Provident and told them I would pay them next week and they were fine about it so feeling better about both things. Ive made the decision not to plan to travel anywhere again it is not worth the hassle and anxiety I am just going to stick to Perth and home and my cat. Anyone been on zopiclone before?

Yeah I'm currently on Zopiclone 7.5mg. Be careful to start with, completely knocked me out (it's a hypnotic and really does hypnotise you!) I found the effectiveness doesn't last too long though, after a week or so I had to up the dose to 2 tabs. Supposed to be highly addictive so go easy, good luck!!

I can't help with your query I'm afraid but glad to see your post and that you are feeling more positive,keep it up.As you say it is about adapting your limitations to whatever you feel comfortable with,good luck.

yep, they help me sleep well, but I only use them occasionally (maybe once a month). I had to take two a night during a bout of pneumonia otherwise I wouldn't have slept at all; over a week, they did the trick but I got a very dry mouth as a side-effect.

Sorry you've been bit poorly Geordie...Perth is a lovely place to live.....

I've had them in the past but only took half a tablet to help me through an anxious period of not sleeping. Found that dose really helpful without feeling groggy in the mornings. I did take one by mistake in the day once thinking it was a travel pill. That frightened those around me as I literally zonked out in the middle of eating a pizza and they didn't know why. Good luck, hope you feel more relaxed soon.

The zoning out can be entertaining if your with people, I normally take them about an hour before bed, before I got used to them I fell asleep standing up holding a coffee!

'' its a hypnotic '' ? sleeping tablet, glad you feel better gordie,

I had those tablets a couple of years ago. They worked and I slept well but I got a metallic taste in my mouth - nothing awful just annoying.

Maybe once your brain calms down you will be able to think clearly.

Look after yourself.
