I was prescribed zopiclone 11 years ago
(the night my mother died) - i'm 33.
Initially I was on 1 3.75, then that
didn't work, so doc prescribed one 7.5,
and again the usual after a while it was
not enough, I started taking too many and
then i'd be some nights without them as my
prescription wasn't due.
I've lost count of the times I lied to the
doc or to the chemist and said I lost em -
they knew I hadn't, but they gave me them
anyway.
The most I ever took at one time was 10 in
one night, through the years I cut this
down to 3. I got so fed up with all the
lying I was doing to get my prescription
so went to doc and told him all - he said
he would prescribe 2 7.5's and a 3.75 at
night - but I still take 3 7.5's
latley i've noticed I have been having
terrible mood swings, I really want to
stop - but i'm scared to - does that make
sense?
It's a terrible drug, when I was first
prescribed it I was told it was
non-addictive and was a good alternative
to benzo's
they don't even make me sleep anymore -
it's 2.24am i've already taken 3 7.5's
hours ago and i'm wide awake.
Does anyone have any advice, i'm so scared
that i'm damaging my body - but I just
can't stop.
They also increase my appetite, just after
I take em I could eat and eat.... I put
on loads of weight - but thankfully
managed to control that.
And the biiter mettalic taste in my mouth
- I kinda like it
any advice would be greatfully accepted

vikki
