    You may need to increase your dosage to get the sleep you need.

    I've been on it ten years, started on 3.75mg up to 7.5mg and when needed up to 15mg but usually 7.5mg

    How long have you been on it?

    I have been on zoplicone for many many years.  Was tapered down to half a 7.5 mg and was doing not too bad.  Then I lost my husband in May and I ended up in hospital first part of July for 5 weeks.  I had major surgery and then two emergency infection surgeries a few days later.  I am lucky because I have an excellent doctor who is always there for me and my family.  Half was not doing it anymore so my Dr. put me on 100mg of Trazadone along with my half zoplicone.  I have been sleeping pretty good most nights and even have had some nights at 7-8 hours of sleep.  Maybe ask your doctor about this.  Thanks and good luck.
