Brief Answer:
Any specific reason for this question

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I would like to know the reason for such a question. If you are suicidal then it is important to reach ER. If you accidentally consumed Zopiclone please see at the ER.

For information sake I give this details.

There is no lethal dose mentioned in the literature for Zopiclone. However we advise around 7.5 mg before bed time as standard dose that helps transient insomina. The lethal dose is varied from person to person. It may be lethal at 15 mg for few and may be 10mg for people with liver failure unable to metabolize. For aged over 70 yrs even 7.5 mg is not good.

So death is not imminent with zopiclone.
