    The only way to stop the full force of the

    Withdrawals would be drop 1/2 tab every

    3/5 days. You may feel slightly ill when you

    Drop your dose until you Stabilize on that

    Dose. Then another 3/5 days drop a bit

    More.

    Hope this helps.

    It's an addictive medication. Many users didn't know it was habit forming when they went on it.

    The withdrawal will be different for each person, depending on their dosage and circumstances, I suppose.

    I did experience a bad week when I stopped taking it BUT I would happily do it again to be rid of the zopiclone.

    Don't be affected by other people. Do what's best for you.

    Well, I had so much side effects, hyperexcitability/sensibility, constant tinnitus and vertigo, irritability, opressive or reccurent thoughts, blurry vision,  internal vibrations, insomnia, dehydration, extreme anxiety, tension in my jaw, teeth grinding at night, etc. It's been 6 months since the last pill smile  I still have a lot of symptoms but I feel like Im on the road to recovery :D At least now, I sleep well everynight and I can fall asleep during the day if I need to rest....So don't worry. Take it one day at the time. Your body is much more stronger than what you might think
