Lunesta (zopiclone)

Hello,

I'm taking Lunesta drug at night time to help sleeping. Typically 2 x 7.5mg which relaxes my mind.

And it works.

However I experience food cravings (sugar, fats) which leads to binge eating. E.g. last night donuts, sweetened yoghurt, cereal bars, marshmallows.

It's all dopamine related of course.

How can I help myself? Well, my sense is that I MUST taper off Lunesta (zopiclone) gradually, and IF my cravings appear, DON'T ACT ON THEM (perhaps drink water instead). It sounds simple, yet when I take the drugs I become a different person.

Every morning I wake up with the same sense of guilt.

My life is a beautiful mess.

Can you offer any advice ?

Best wishes

Jon
