About 6 years ago I was prescribed Zopiclone for insomnia... and 6 years later, Im hooked on it. I simply cannot sleep without it. Despite taking Zopiclone, Im waking all through the night due to hot flushes and 9/10 times I cant get back to sleep for at least 2 hours. If I do get back to sleep, Im waking ready to start the day about 5am. Im exhausted all the time.
Im also furious at my GP for prescribing the Zopiclone in the first place. I remember her telling me they weren't addictive... um, yeah right. I have since changed Dr, but Im sooo tempted to write her a letter telling her what she has done to me. I hope she has stopped prescribing them willy nilly. Grrr stupid woman!
I said in January, my new years resolution was to get off the Zopiclone by the end of the year. Im no where near ready to even try due to other stresses at the moment, but I would like to try in a couple of months.
Anyway, for all you ladies that have problems sleeping... I feel your pain. Stay away from the Zopiclone though!
