An I dependent on Imovane / Zopiclone ? Posted: 10-11-07 03:11am
Thanks for the board.I have been on
"Imovane"[7.5 mg Zopiclone] since 28
August 2007,1x when needed.In such a short
period,I am becoming aware of a certain
dependence.I am not sure whether it may be
that I had not had a good night's sleep
for 20 years,or whether it may be becoming
a true dependence.Although I have-and
quite consciously-'only' had 10 pills in 1
1/2 months,some of you here seem to be
implying that the blurb which comes with
the packaging + MIMS
Australia[www.mims.com.au] is just
outright wrong when it comes to potential
addiction.I am on no other medication,but
co-incidentally I am still psychologically
addicted to LSD having had my last trip
about 20 years ago-that's where I get my
sense of addiction.I drink to excess,but
no more than excessive drinkers
do.Thanking you in advance,my questions to
the board are:
1.Has anyone who was on 'Zopiclone'
without other psycho-mimetic type drugs
been clinically diagnosed as dependent?
2.When did the need for 'more' first
start:at what dosage over what period?
Thanking you for what may be tremendous
preventative advice.

Wow, I read where someone is getting their
drugs through someone who works at a
nursing home. This is ILLEGAL!!! I hope
who ever is supplying you is caught and
the full ramifications of their licensure
is employed. This is legally, morally and
ethically wrong. Sorry about this persons
sleep problems. I am not sorry they have
resorted to criminal activity (in reality)
to take care of their problem. Not a good
sound decision friend.
To the person taking 50 plus pills a day.
Please find someone who can detox you
safely. Your life is worth it.

Zopiclone Posted: 10-29-07 07:17am
i got zopiclone in august for jet lag and
intermitten insomnia... i liked how it
made me fall asleep so quick.... it's
october now... i take at least three a
night and get anxious if I dont... i think
i am depressed as well... and on days
where i dont feel like facing life... i
just keep taking them all day so i sleep
or feel high.... i often drink with
them....
i think i have a problem
so to answer your question, i started in
august with 1/2 a 7.5 mg pill for a week
then went up to 1 pill and probably
started on 2 or three pills in the past
month.. (october)

Withdrawal From Opiates Posted: 11-28-07 11:37am
I keep getting these MRSA infections,
abcesses, which are very painful.
Everytime I get one, they put me on
percocet, which only takes a little of the
pain away. Everytime I run out I go
through withdrawal. This is my 10th case
of MRSA in 2 months. I need the pain
medication, because they really are very
very painful, especially when they are cut
open and drained and packed. I am on a
body wash, nose medication and 2 different
antibiotics. I hope and pray I don't get
another one because of the opiate
withdrawal, which feels like the flu, it
sucks. What can I do? Someone please
help. I can't cope with the pain and I
can't cope with the withdrawal. HELP
PLEASE!!
