I took zopiclone

[[...]]

Hi

I took zopiclone for one week. The dosage was first 5 mg and the last pill I took I increased to 7,5 mg. The following day this triggered anxiety for me. From there it all went downhill. Nausea, burning sensation in my stomach, the worst insomnia, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, diarrhea, tingling in my body and especially in my legs.

 

As soon as I realized what had happened, I quit cold turkey. It’s been two months and am still struggling with anxiety, occasional diarrhea and insomnia. The insomnia is the worst. I’m seeking quidance and people who can relate to me… this has not been a fun journey and I need the support.

Welcome SM! I'm currently coming off a multi-year Lunesta/Ambien/Trazadone habit. I CT'd 10 weeks ago. I am well along with the healing process. This is very difficult, but with some restructuring of your life you can get through this. Perhaps we can resume this in the withdrawal board and I'll be happy to share some things that will give you success. You're going to be OK.

 

Best, Dave
