Zopiclone Withdrawal - is this normal?

I take 2mg of diazapam at night and 5mg in the morning before I go to work. But it's getting worse. I finished work today and I was overcome with tiredness I fell asleep straight away. But I'm going to keep bashing through. X

Your not on to much mirtazapine are you because that can make you feel how your feeling x

I'm on 45mg which I take at night along with phenegen and then I take velafaxin 225mg with 5mg of diazapam in the morning.

Hi Glen that's the same dose of stuff iam on and I feel like crap.some days I don't want to leave the house .I've got no motivation iam sure it the mirtazapine because I was on the other stuff before mirtazapine and didn't feel this bad.i think I've been on mirtazapine for about 1 year .and there making me more depressed which apparently they can do.cause if you're on half your dose of zopiclone you should be well over withdrawl s .as it hasn't been stopped completely.

I've been on mirtazapine for years now. It's the only anti depressant I don't really have trouble with. I know with zopiclone that the longer you're on it. The longer the withdrawal affects can last. I think it's called rebound symptoms. I've got an appointment with a mental health worker on the first. So I'll bring it up then. Then I've got a GP appointment on the 10th. My wife is worried because she doesn't want to see me suffer another breakdown as I wouldn't survive. But I'm mentally stronger than I was before. Just need to sort out whatever is going on. It's a pain in the bloody behind though!

I hope you get the help you need and you have a good wife that understands some of the things going on.best of luck x

Yeah she's a star. I know it hasn't been easy for her. But I'm in a better place now. And it was only a matter of time before I had a blip. So it's all about how I handle it

Hi glenn i am new to all this but i am suffering really bad with withdrawal from zopiclone i was on it for about 5 years then was weaned off way too fast i feel!! i have been off zopiclone for about 4 months now and i am still getting withdrawal i get really bad panic attacks my blood pressure soars then drops too much and i end up with delirium feeling out of body tongue tingles and i feel sheer terror plus i am on a lowered dose of venlafaxine 150 mg i was on 180mg for about 4 year never any trouble and silly me thought it was doing nothing so i asked my psychiatrist to heighten the dose and he did so and put me on the highest 225mg to my detrement i could only last 2 weeks on that dose all this whilst i was coming off zopiclone!! i was also doing very well up until all this change with the medications losing weight doing high intensity interval training for 30 minutes a day 5 sometimes seven days a week....I can no longer do exercise as when i exert my body i go into a shock like state my blood pressure drops my hands go cold and clammy my tongue tingles i dont feel like eating mouth goes dry then i start going extremely light headed and confused my speech is slurred i have memory loss all in all not good..i am worried this zopiclone which i was on for 5 years at 7.5mg may have left my brain damaged and my body and i wont ever be able to exercise do you know if this will go away and could it be to do with both the changes in dose of venlafaxine and withdrawal from zopiclone or if it is just the zopiclone i did no know it would last this long and i am worried much appreciated if yourself or anyone else could help i have basically been neglected by my psychiatrist and i have demanded to see another one in the meantime but as of yet i have had no reply from them
