Hi I’m On zopiclone you have to keep taking it till you have at least 3 night decent sleep . It take time sometime to work . I’ve had night where I’ve taken it and thought it had not worked but when I look at it before zopiclone I only slept an hour over the course of a couple of days it became slightly more until I was able to sleep a full night . I have high anxiety as well i would say you could keep a sleep diary see if it has improved over a course of a 3 days if it don’t work then go back to drs the only thing I’ve found really knocks me out straight of is serquel but I’m terrible the next day it’s like I’m drunk the next day and I slur . I know it rough but try a couple of days . And although poor quality you may find a slight improvement. Over things to help sleep is bed sick to warm you up if cold and use a sheet if to hot . Chamomile before bed and be optimistic see any increasement as a blessing. I was able to sleep two weeks in aided thanks to zopiclone. Until I had a lot of high stress so now back on them x x

This is the guidance to all doctors in the UK:

Insomnia (short-term use)
By mouthI was on it about 5 weeks (7.5mg from the start) and became dependant. The Crisis Team nurses who recommended by GP put me on them said they expected it to be once every other day so there is perhaps some debate about it's best use?
- For Adult
7.5 mg once daily for up to 4 weeks, dose to be taken at bedtime.- For Elderly
Initially 3.75 mg once daily for up to 4 weeks, dose to be taken at bedtime, increased if necessary to 7.5 mg daily.
Don't get wrong, Lesley, I think you have a point because I've read Z drugs are considered more addictive than benzo's.
I found it stopped working as well after a couple of weeks. The first night was bliss though!

Ha omg just realised I replied to my own post 😂
P.s mental health team said I don’t need antidepressants last time I was on the I became suicidal so had to stop so I don’t like taking them . I’m paying for private therapy at the moment I try not to have either if I can help it I managed to get off them to I had so very bad news and family issue . I’m not depressed I suffer with anxiety from extreme long term stress . I have two chronic pain issues at the moment , two pending court cases. One for pip and another for chronic food poisoning that is still feel feel the effects months after And think considering all that I’m doing fairly well thank you x
Sounds like you've got it all sussed so you don't need any help or advice from anyone here.
