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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
