Hi , I’ve recently found 3.5 Zophiclone no longer works.

I was told by the doctor to go up to 7.5 mg but to my dismay that doesn't work either.... so I got hold of more Zophiclone and am on 15 mg a night. I got into this fix because I had undiagnosed post concussion syndrome from a surfing accident six months ago, then depressionkicked in and a family member gave me more zophiclone which I took 3.5 mg x twice a night as the migraine kept waking me up and then using another in the daytime as the headache was so severe and still is.... I have been on Zoph for 25 years now without any problems, so this is such a shock and I have never been able to sleep without it.... of course I can try and go cold turkey, but I have chronic migraine, which no medication works for.. Does anyone know if Zophiclone can regain its potency or is it a case of once you've become tolerant, that's it? I'm tempted to go cold turkey and see if that works, but i just have such a terrible headache, and I feel so stressed about it. Any thoughts?
