Sleeplessness. Taking Zopiclone. Asked To Stop The Medication. What To Do?
I was unable to sleep for several years this was getting worse - only 1/2 hours started taking Zopiclone 5 years ago this is a great success 6/7 hours every night what a relief - now my GP says I can no longer have them - even though they work perfect for me - can my GP insist I stop taking them or do I have some say in this matter???
