Is taking 3 x 7.5mg zopiclone an overdose?

My partner has just gone to bed feeling very depressed and I have just found a packet of Zopiclones he took: he took 3 x 7.5 = 22.5 mg.

I don't think it is a lot as he used to take a hell of a lot more, but I wonder if I should worry? How many zopiclones does one need to take in order to start worrying about having taken an overdose?

Thanks for any advice.

    last year i downed around 13 x 7.5mg pills before being thrown in a car and taken to the hospital at night.

    they monitored me all night with not much fuss or interest. nothing administered to me. thrown into the mental health system s**t. after signing my soul away for the days coming i walked out of the hospital that morning.

    long story short she was probably fine.

    i have been taking Z for 25 years - 1 x 7.5 tablet. i began to abuse them during the day for relaxation purposes. now take 3-4.

    i have tried valium for calmness but Zop is by far the best. they cost a fortune and I wish i could stop. Suggedtions? Roger

    I have been in a bad place for year just bottling things up, I had my first Trauma when I was 10 years old. I found my Grandad dead in bed, since then I have had 3 other serious Trauma and had counseling which at the time helped but as soon as the counseling finished I hit a low and started down hill again. I am now 60 and these Trauma were like they were yesterday. Time and time again I have thought of just ending my life by overdosing on some of the medication I am on, I also have mobility issues and suffer 24/7 being in chronic pain and sleep very little. any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
