How To Wean Off Zopiclone?

How do I wean off 3.75 m of zopiclone. I ve been prescribed it by my doctor for 5 months & I m desperate to get off them! Her advice is to prescribe more and told me to take the drug for 6 nights and miss one. The next week, take the drug for 5 nights, miss 2 etc. My pharmacist was horrified to hear this!

Hello,

I recommend you to take another option from another specialist and they are the same than you should take it as prescribed. The pharmacist is not a doctor he should only see the prescription not discuss it at all.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
