Hi. I've been.buying zopiclone from oversea s for about a year now. Doctors would never prescribe as I m an alcoholic in recovery (sober 2 years now). I m spending a fortune an take 1 and a half to 2 a night to sleep. I 've lost money through company's claiming they sell them and don't!!. I sometimes take half in the day if really stressed and really calms down. The thought of not having them terrifies me so I know I m addicted. I also take 45mg of mirtazapieni and 50mg of phenergen a night..really Don t know if the only person in the world that lives like this and I m so scared of any side effects if I tried to come off them. I still don't sleep properly and have hideous anxiety as soon as I wake up and can no never go bk to sleep. My partner has no clue I m on them and I dread the postman coming in case he answers the door so I m always there first. This is hell and I really really want to come off them but cannot cope with the no sleep at all and side effects. Please someone tell me they have similar experience?

    I used to take zoplicone, I was prescribed 22.5 mgs by my psychiatrist but would take more, would double dip and get them from my gp and eventually online too. I started taking them during the day and towards the end I was taking really large amounts. I went into the psych ward to be weaned off of them. Don't try and do it alone. Either conofide in yur partner or your doctor. It's been 3 years since I was prescribed these pills and I still go to Narcotics Anonymous meetings three times a week for support because life is stressful without them. Good luck!

    You can definitely NOT COLD TURKEY!!!

    I took 30mg of dalmane for 22 years. Tried to stop last year at this time and nearly killed myself doing it. Still taking 5mg per night and a zolpidem er. For sleep, I supplement this with Melatonin, gaba, L-theanine, benedryl all available at Amazon.(except the Z) I am 72 years old. How old are you?
