How Effective & Safe Is Taking Zopiclone For Sleep?

I have been prescribed 112.5mg venlafaxine and 10mg buspirone 3 times per day, with 15mg zopiclone at night and I cannot sleep. Would a different sleeping tablet be better. My doctor stopped prescribing temazepam to his patients a year ago, replacing it with zopiclone which has never worked apart from I find it so difficult to get up the next day - sometimes not up until midday. Would appreciate any advice, please.

Hi.

I understand your concern.

Zopliclone amd temazepam both are short acting.
Long acting benzodiazapine can help like clonazepam and lorazepam.

Anti depressant like mirtazapine has dual role in anxiety depression and insomnia.

Discuss with your treating doctor and get help.

I hope I have answered your question.

Thank you.
