Hi there everyone,


Its the small hours of the night and i've had a little bit more than what is prescribed of my zopiclone. Im also on anti depressant cipralex. Im drowsy right now but too agitated to fall asleep. I am Sick and tired of these sleeping pills ruining my health. I feel so dependent on them and everyday when I wake up I tell myself I will sleep without taking any that night, but then the night rolls around and I convince myself to take one. This reminds me of my alcoholism. I feel psychologically addicted go them. And I feel like its aging me more than alcohol ever did.


Anyone feeling this way about their sleeping pills?

Hi sixtyfour, I am new to the site and am struggling with Zoplicone (rather trying to not use it) and trying to learn how to sleep without it. Any tips? How have you been doing with everything?

I have not, I see her on Dec. 29th. I am on the waitlist for rehab (alcohol) and will have to have been off zoplicone for 2 months. I cut my 7.5 mg into quarters and take a quarter each night. I just feel like I have unbelievably weird, crazy dreams and I feel like I am losing brain capacity/memory during the day. Weird?
Btw, thanks for the welcome- I am SO grateful to have people to talk to about all this. Thank you.
