I have been taking Zopiclone 5mg for 4 years. Recently, I try to win it off because it didn't help my insomnia much.

Tonight is the second night without taking it. I started to have headache ,feel anxiety and mild trembling of hands when it's bedtime. I think these are the symptoms of withdrawal.

Usually, how long will the withdrawal symptoms subside? What can I do to relieve some of the symptoms? Any suggestions? Anyone like me who is going through the same situations? Hope can have support.

Thanks.

    I'm surprised that your doctor let you take them for so long. Perhaps you should cut them down with one every second night then every third night.
