Has anyone experience of coming off Zopiclone? I've had bouts of insomnia all my adult life and have been going through a very bad bout of it as my mum has been very ill in hospital and now is in a nursing home. I finally went to my doctor after a few months of it and he gave me Zopiclone 3.75 mg. I'd been getting a good nights sleep with them and have been feeling much better in myself. My dr told me to only take them for about a week and I don't like taking pills anyway so after 10 days, I've cut down to 3/4 of a pill for the past 3 nights and all has been fine apart from bad indigestion, but last night the insomnia came back with a vengeance and I was awake with my brain whirring away and feeling really restless til about 5am. I've looked up what it says about withdrawing from Zopiclone and the info explains about rebound insomnia etc and other side effects which I recognise. What I don't know is how long I'll get these withdrawal symptoms for? I just want to feel myself. I can't afford to be feeling like this as I need to be well to support my mum
