WHO’s on Zopiclone right now??
I just got off 40 yrs of zopiclone. Withdrawal almost killed me. I'm 1 year off.
Me taken loads tbem 3.5 4 so far done anther don’t even knock me out mate 😂
@@sandywhat2429 how did you do it?
I'm on them right now highest does 7.5 and I'm not addicted haha
7.5 right now
Yes. Unfortunately I have been taking it for a long time. My GP has no solution to wean me off. It's either this or suffering from sleep deprivation from apnea. Cruel vicious circle.
I hear you. It’s brutal.
This stuff ruined my brothers life.... he takes up to 15 daily and says if he takes less he gets a terrible head ache.... this stuff has completely melted his brain
Try cannabis
Film him!! There will always be a withdrawal at some point
I tale 16 pills a day. Im losing my mind because im in another Country and cant get a prescription. I cant sleep, its being years, please, anyone reading this, DONT TAKE THIS DRUG! I regret it so much.
I know that everything that he said is true but the length of the video is funny to me for some reason.
I often go to 32 second youtube videos for my medical advice.
I’m not to sure about that in everybody…. I’ve been on zopiclone for 30 years , I changed 10 days ago to melatonin and if I was addicted, I would not be able to do that , half of it is psychological .
Does melatonin help
@@Tilr701 I’m only on 2 mg off my doctor . To help the sleep wake cycle . He said i oils alternate them and zopiclone if I got anxious . But it’s been fine . I’ve took an hour before bed . But my friend is on higher dose of 4 mg and it’s natural . Comes from a plant
Melatonin doesn't work, I can't sleep😭
Is Zopiclone Addictive? Do you have serious side effects after taking it for 30 years?
After taking zopiclone, I can only sleep more than 5 hours, one pill
im not addicted i just want to sleep i cant sleep with out it
you are addicted
@@bao8212
i guess i am my brain cannot relax
How long u been taking
problem with drugslike this is that you build a tolerance and thenthey dont work anymore...
Lol. No kidding. Would’ve been nice if my drs would’ve told me this.
What exactly is the mechanism of “make the insomnia worse”, can you go into detail?.
probably not gunna get a reply or a follow up video there’s no point in commenting like you’re friends with the guy
@@muzza2096 lol. You literally could put this ignorant comment on every comment you see on every video on TH-cam.
Cool.
Personally I don't see much chance for abuse nor addiction. I have abused both opioids and benzos with alcohol and tried to do the same with "Z drugs". The results were underwhelming. But with most sobriety altering substances it's entirely possible to get addicted.
Why was it overwhelming?
@@dixienormis6836 UNDERwhelming. As in not much fun to use.
@@hellrazor117 You were chasing some sort of recreational effect then? There are druggies that do that with benzodiazepines but it doesn't have a recreational effect on me no matter the dose, neither do I blackout even at reportedly recreational dosages, and I'm talking things like 3.5 mg of clonazolam. I assume the same would be true for these Z-drugs even though I never tried them.
I theorize that many addicts of alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids have a poor P450 system, a group of enzymes that break down or transform a massive variety of substances most notably the substances I mentioned earlier. A good functioning system would trigger the enzymes very fast so that any drug would break down quickly and the recreational effect would be minimal. For those with worse functioning systems the drug stays longer, and thus the recreational effect increases. Not to mention that for those with metabolize drugs ultra-fast would also develop tolerance ultra-fast to the point that you'd need insane amounts to overdose where an average person would have died.
I have actually been in a latter situation where given the dosage I should have OD'd. Instead I was fine. Happy to be in the lucky 5% of the population, although there are massive downsides to this as well, such as certain medicines being completely ineffective for a certain ailment.
That said you can still develop dependence on benzos.
How long have you taken zoplicone, iam on my 2nd week i take 4 tabs a week just for work days
Almost 14.5 months out after using it for 4.25 months in 2021 the withdrawal is horrendous including taper suppose to be 7 10 days month max lowest dose (check specs very closely first) warning DANGER prefer none
When I get it I take to many I get bad withdrawals for about 4 days then it tapers off
same just shakes and muscle twitches mainly... head rush here and there.
i am heavily addicted to this drug
I was put on zopiclone and some antipsychotic drugs when I was 17… I was able to get rid of the antipsychotics but workout zopiclone I can’t sleep. I’m on it for over 10 years 😪
Does it still work after 10 years
@@jagjit4001 yes
@@DynAmisch69 i cant sleep ive just started taking them 1 week ago they knock me out 8 hrs and i wake up fresh, just hop the doctor lets me take them long term i take 4 tablets a week just for work days
Yes, I'm addicted now
What does zopiclone feel like if you stay awake?
@@dixienormis6836 after about an hour you feel a bit groggy but the trick is 2 glasses of wine in that hour and you'll fly for the rest of the day
I am adiccted to love
