I'm in the same boat. Been a heavy cocaine user since 16 (18 years) and really heavy drinker. Take 15mg xopiclone to just bring me down and some times more, result to chewy them up for a quick result. I'm not a scum bag addict, just a well paid functioning addict with wife and family. This whole thing is eating me up, I need help but don't want to admit it....... This can't go on.
I feel like I'm floating around trying to shake this monkey off my back with out some straight wally trying to give me advice whose never even seen my shoes, let aloned sniffed them ...... Ha.
If my doctor new the drugs consumed on a week, he'd sh*t his pants
Been using alcohol for years, hate christmass cause its every where and my defences just dissapear! so every year Ihave to go through the same old problems!! just got a couple of zops and some codine...hope it works as i've got no Librium . Wish you good luck in trying to sleep and not shake!!! i'm in work tommorow which is the worst when coming down!! x
Do zopps and codiene work short term, i'm back in work tommorow and could really do without the shakes....got no Librium xx
I had chronic insomnia and nocturnal heart palpitations. I take 50 mg of Atenalol (the first and still best, longest lasting beta blocker on the market but it takes an hour to work), and although I used to switch from 3.75 zop to zolpidem 10 so that my body wouldn't get used to either one, I have switched to 5 mg Melatonin. I can't believe how well it works; my body must have been low on this hormone.... I never think OTC stuff will work, so I was shocked. I take it every night nw with the Atenalol and have dropped the z's.
See above reply about Melatonin.
With you there Sam.
I am i the exact same situation. Do you want to talk?
Hello! Do you feel better and found a way out of all these since?
Hope you did!
Take care!
I have been on zop for over a year. Was subscribed because I really couldn't sleep. I tried to stop taking them because I noticed I was forgetting a lot of stuff like common words and conversations and things I told people just a day before. It caused memory loss, When I tried to quit cold turkey I went through withdraw big time.. anxiety, crying, even cold sweats. I recognized this and it scared the crap out of me. But because I was so dependant I couldn't quit. I would have nightmares and wake up every 30 minutes. I was taking 5 and then 7mg but I was double dosing because I built up such a tolerance. I have now taken myself down to 5mg. I find that if I drink u can pass out without them and I don't have the mental need for them the next day ( the mental dependency is real, found this out when I couldn't refill my prescription ) so if you have a long weekend or time off flush the pils and drink instead and you will be off them . To sleep at night.. get up early, take a walk at dawn and you should be able to sleep. Even after an all n
Sorry wasn't done.. after an all night bender I drank stayed up till bed time and was fine. Slept all night without zop and no need for it the next day. I have tried many ways to stop taking it because it's so dependant and I hate forgetting s**t
I have been on zop for over a year. Was subscribed because I really couldn't sleep.

To sleep at night.. get up early, take a walk at dawn and you should be able to sleep. My advise is if you can drink ... flush the pills, go out and get smashed and pass out, it's like a complete reset of the brain I HAVE tested this theory. I'm so tired of losing my memory, I'm pretty smart and it suck for this to happen . A drink a day that's strong enough can cure this addiction

Even after an all nighters but let it wear off and you will be tired enugh to sleep and that cuts the drpendacy... just one weekend can do that
hello there, i am new to prescription drugs and get a variety from my friend sometimes without full packaging so i google which has led me here as i havd zoplain 7.5mg which i have taken only once before before my anxiety and constant brain dump was keeping me awake! i found it put me to sleep bug i woke up groggy and with little energy or get up motivated or active. it tastes bad too which i noticed immediately. only tonight i have googled and come across this page. i suffer acute PTSD and i am high functioning but this mean i cannot rest sometimes which makes me stressed out as i have commitments each and every morning. which i get up and do. i have taken this zoplain 7.5’mg before it did get me to sleep and i wasnt dead to the world which is good however the following day i felt groggy and tired so much it had a negative impact on my day the following day which isnt ideal .i have been given other sleeping tablets and they worked better in think they were turkish i no longer have the box. i take sleeping tablets when im sufffering severe anxiety attributed to acute PTSD, my brain goes mad. i sometimes have a drink then im ok. i go to sleep but on occasion intake cocaine so then i’m wired and ready to write book! i end up like right now up way past bedtime knowing i hsve to be up at 7am which is 2.5 hours away
tomight for the second time i have been drinking alcohol and taking cocaine. im not at a party. im alone. i have taken zoplaine 7.5 g for the second time (not tonight) first thing in noticed was taste. it put me to sleep
but i woke up groggy and tired. if my husband was with me i would not being doing it. its pointless and act of lonliness snd emtyness
i also had naproxen 250mg
again unprescribed given to me. i am bit dubious snout getting subscription from my doctors as i am aware it can affect you in the future in so many ways such as your insurance policies and any dealings with social services. being on your health record unfortunately has a negative impact whether now or in the future. it wil affect your insurance policies. its something i hide in order to protect myself. i am currently no addicted and do not intend to carry on like this. This is my controlled blow out which i needed. i have a lot of responsibilities in my life that i commit too even if tomorrow i may be a little worse for wear i will carry out my duties. Loneliness, lack of recipient love, financial pressures is why i do on odd occasions have this blow out as safely & dignified and private as possible. But i know its not the answer. im here and navigating myself through so many difficulties and when im like this i feel calm and able to decipher whats going on and decide how i am going to deal with it as an adult which means accepting my thoughts and any thing which is weighing me down and putting in a plan to deal with then more appropriately
ah bless u
u took first step admitting ur addiction
all the best
start living
A bit late to the game here but I hope your lack of updates means you’re doing better! I’ve had times in my life where I’ve done things, like cocaine when I shouldn’t, and know the road to not doing stuff like that is tough! It’s a self-sabotaging cycle. thank you for sharing and yes, i hope things are tidier for you now
