I have been taking zopiclone from the UK 7.5 mg off and on for months but have not spread out the does so that I was sleeping for days without taking them. I have bad migraines and at the start of October the pain was very bad and lasted a long time. I took 7.5mg every night.
I took them at this dose for 14 nights and then went to half dose which was less
sleep about 4 or 5 hours for 6 nights. Then I took 1/4 for 3 nights. The first night was very fitful and then second worse and the last night I could not sleep at all. I do not know what to do now.
I am worried about being addicted to them and how to come off them. I woke up feeling like my mind did not want to sleep, and was shivering a bit the day I did not take the1/4 dose, so took it. I do not know if this is withdrawal or weak from not eating much being cold and not sleeping.
Am I addicted? Why was my mind feeling that it did not want to sleep? Is it because it is missing the zopiclone now and cannot sleep without it? I thought a 1/4 dose would be better but it has given me no sleep now, where a half dose did. Should I go cold turkey and if so how long will this last?
will it be less now I am on1/4 or is my body only now just missing the zopiclone and has got used to it so I am at the start of my body trying to adjust to being without it again? How long going cold turkey should this last and is it advisable? It i take half again am I just confusing my body again, and making the process go on longer? Thank you. I am scared now because of the fears of addiction and dependecy.
