Tapering off zopiclone

I'm having a nightmare trying to get off zopiclone and return to normal sleep. For months now I've only been able to get to sleep using it. But I always wake up after two or three hours and then awake the rest of the night unless I take even more zopiclone. This nightmare situation makes tapering off it seemingly impossible. I tried going cold turkey back in December, but failed after almost a month of terrible insomnia. Doctors have been useless so far and I've found no-one to give me any useful advice. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
