Help Required - Coming off Zopiclone

Treatment and medication
21

Hi Ben

Like you and others, I also seem to have an over active mind.  I have been taking zopiclone for the best part of four years but have cut down to a very low dose over about a six month period.  I think that the comments on this site reflect widely differing experiences with effective dosage and withdrawal rates - seems to be a very individual experience. 

I think it is worth trying meditation if you haven't already done so - you may find it is a helpful (and gentle) form of relaxation.

Thank you for answering I guess their is little point you changing something you've had for most of your life? If it keeps you stable and you sleep then I would continue, have you had any health issues from long term use?

BTW have you discussed this with a GP?

No, I don't think so. Or none that I am aware of.   I am another one with an overactive mind, especially at night.  Without a tablet, I just can't sleep.
