Maybe se Gp and see if i can have Diazepam and try them at the weekend so i can catch up on some quality sleep.
Well, you really need to be guided by your own doctor, because it would appear that doctors in various areas have completely different opinions. There does however seem to be some misinformation out there about how 'safe' zopiclone is. All you need to do is a bit of googling to see that that information isn't correct. I can only tell you what my research has told me, by reading various websites and by talking to my own doctor.
I don't want to be a scare-monger, but you really need to be aware of the risks with all medications you take, especially tranquilisers, so please don't automatically assume that any kind of sleeping medication is non-risk. They are all addictive if taken for long enough, and the time period needed for addiction will vary widely from person to person. For some people it could be months or even years, and for other people is could just be a couple of weeks or even less. You might start out fully intending to only take it on the weekends to catch up on some sleep, but then there's the temptation to start using it more regularly because you need to get a good night's sleep during the week because of work etc, and that's how you get hooked. It's really easy and it can happen really quickly.
I'm not saying don't take any sleeping medications. It was a life saver for me, because you need to sleep, and taking a pill definitely helps. I'm also not saying don't take zopiclone. Just be aware that it can be just as addictive as any other sleeping medication. There are risks with all of them, and be prepared for the fact that you might have to slowly wean yourself off them later on, and that could end up being easier for you with diazepam. That website link I gave explains all that, so please read the information on it so you can make own decision. There is a lot more information on that site other that just the page link I gave, plus there is a lot more information available if you just search for it.
I have no idea if I have an addiction to any of the sleeping meds I've taken, but because I was on zopiclone and tamezpam for a couple of months, I wasn't about to take any chances of stopping them suddenly because even in small doses for short periods of time there is the potential for serious side effects if you don't taper the dose down over a period of time - and that goes for any sleeping medication (ie seizures is just as one possible problem).
As silverlady suggested, you could also try melatonin. I also take that (between 2-4mg) and I find it helps when I do a reduction in the dose I take of diazepam. You could perhaps try it in preference to a sleeping med, because it might be enough to help you, and there are no side effects except maybe drowsiness in the morning if you take too much. I think the maximum dose that is recommended is 6mg, but you would need to check that with your GP.
