Bipolar Disorder Support Group

i have taken it the last three nights, first time only took half and it didn't do anything. the next night i got a good night sleep and last night it didn't work so well. i am going to take it until sunday night because i have an ECT on monday and am not supposed to take one. we will see how that nights sleep goes because kidlet goes back to school next week and i don't want to be passed out as she gets ready for school and i will be too drugged out to drive her to the bus stop.

Hi Jamieson, so far I haven't found that it leaves me feeling hung over, in fact I would say that on waking up I feel quite clear headed.

hello fella, mans right. it dont leave you on a comedown. dont know about short term though. i ve been on it for about two years. what i was told was there is no point abusing it because it only works in yiur system for a couple of hours. and it only seems to quiet your head enuff to let you get to sleep. you will still wake up early.keep on.

lunesta never worked for me

Hey there, I use Zopiclone too, not every night but maybe every second or third night. Sometimes a couple nites in a row.. I take one whole tablet. usually works every time and leaves me with a good nite sleep. But in saying tha sometimes i have taken two cause am still wide awake at all hours. When I was taking it every night i felt really drowsey and hang over, but every now and then i dont at all.

it didnt' work for me as much as ambien did. plus lunesta caused me to have a metal taste in my mouth in the morning. but i heard it works great for others.

I took it for months and it worked for a long time. I liked it better than Ambien which caused me to have really weird nightmares and feel sluggish in the morning.

Zopiclone gave me amnesia and rebound insomnia, which I wasn't very thankful for. It's meant to be short term yeah - it's an addictive little bugger.
Oh God - and the aftertaste! Awful!

thanks for the info. - havent experienced the aftertaste myself yet.
