I was really addicted to zopiclone. . . .to those of you who are too. . . .what I did was stop the zopiclone, then took 8mg of diazepam one night, then 6mg the other night, then I just took nothing the night after and slept really well - for 8 hours. . . .maybe you should taper the diazepam, down a bit to you eventually get to nothing i'e 8mg, 1 night, then 6, then 4, then 2 etc. . . I went to see a psychiatrist on saturday night and he said if I stopped taking zopiclone suddenly I would get seizures. . . .but I haven't. . . . .!!

I think I've finally bloody cracked it!!!!

For those of you who have insomnia - don't give up hope. . .I had it for 4 months in a row. . .have taken zopiclone every night for 4 months. . . .had insomnia on and off for 3 years. . . .

Don't give up hope you will be ok. . . .

No, it will never stop. It's always got to be something. And don't kid yourself, just because you've slept for 2 days...doesn't mean it's gone for good.

But that is great to hear. I'm happy for you. Good job, hopefully it keeps up.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
