    Didn't make panic any worse but was rubbish for what it is designed - making you sleep lol.

    Zopiclone is a "stage 2" sleeping hypnotic... won't help knock you out but is SUPPOSED to help you STAY asleep during stage two kip and have less of those horrible "keepy waky up" moments... it has a "short half life" so it's out your system quite quickly and wouldn't have any particular affect of panic anxiety UNLESS it helped you sleep through if you suffer the problem of waking in a panic. Short term usage only drug though as has dependence capabilities.

    Re: zopiclone

    It didnt really affect my panic, nor did it help me sleep.....but then again nothing does

    On a technical level it acts in the same way as benzos, so yeah it has some degree of anti-anxiety properties, that in theory may continue for a few hours max after the sedative effect. Shouldnt make it worse x

    Zopiclone is a sleeping med/sedation medication.

    I find it's pretty crap, it doesn't work for me, I have to take something stronger which is Zolpidum (spelling).

    Re: zopiclone

    I have taken zopiclone in the past and it has no effect on my panic states. It can however induce sleep walking which I am particularily prone to . Because of this unwanted side effect I have stopped taking it. I dont want to experience sleepwalking when I am on my own usually when I would need a sleeping pill. I need to ask my GP for something else.
