Have Insomnia, Stress, Anxiety. What Can Help?
Hi,
I've been struggling with insomnia for the last few months - caused by stress and anxiety.
I have been on Zopiclone for 13 nights (7.5 mg for 10 nights and 3.75mg for night 11 and 12). I tried sleeping without anything last night (night 13) but couldn't get off until i took 1.8mg at 3am.
I don't want to become addicted but concerned about my lack of sleep last night. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Kind regards, Matt

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcare magic.
I have gone through your available history.
If the insomnia is associated with Stress or depression , in my opinion zopiclone alone will not be sufficient.
You should go for detailed psychiatric evaluation and should get treatment for stress/Depression in the form of either pharmacological or psychotherapy.
meanwhile you can try relaxation therapy like meditation, Yoga or self motivation to get rid of stress.
I hope you will be fine soon.
thanks
