Zopiclone is at the bottom of this very long list of drugs that Craig has posted. It is vital you read it. Try from the bottom up, we are trying to explain why you are ill. Last year many of you will have had your prescriptions cut by 50% that's half. You may have been given other medications such as antidepressants and told they will work the same. After you have found Zopiclone, go to the benzodiazepines forum, it is posted there too. The reason is on Craig's list. Check out your symptoms and you'll be surprised to see similarities in yours and those that are addicted to eg diazepam or Lorazepam. We will all answer any questions we can. Just trying to help!

    Hi BS8/all,

    I am replying here rather than sending PMs to several users.

    I have merged Zopiclone and Zolpidem groups into the Benzo group and retitled it Benzodiazipines and  Z Drugs. I have added alternative titles so users can still browse via the Z A-Z list to find Zop but they will now go to Benzo group. It may take a little while for everything to settle/appear due to caching.

    ​Also I have added a pinned discussion here

    https://patient.info/forums/discuss/useful-resources-505418 with a list of links to useful resources. This means it will always be the first discussion on the group page. It includes the two links of lists that Craig has been posting. I have deleted those discussions and replaced the long lists with links in comments such as in this discussion so users can see them in their original state. 

    As I say in the pinned discussion if anyone has any further suggestions or questions then PM me rather than replying in the discussion. I will add

    http://www.citawithdrawal.org.uk/ if someone can confirm it is still useful as I read it was no longer maintained.

    Regards,

    Alan

      As to citawithdrawal it explains so much and easy to read. People have either commented or PM me I also feel that it is another source of correct information for people to refer to. Somebody posted the telephone number  which I did not! I feel as it is accurate it only adds to reliable information. they say less is more but not when you're looking anywhere for help on benzos. You just google and end up with all sorts of commercial sites too! 

      Could please reconsider
