Re: I think I found the culprit to my anxiety
Hi Tammy,
This sounds like a very high dose of Zopiclone! I am also prescribed Zopiclone at 7.5mg, but I am only to take a HALF a pill when needed. Two pills at a time seems very high! And recently I have been breaking my pills into thirds, and that does the trick as well. I only take them when needed, not every night. And I haven't found any side effects, addiction probs. I wake up without any drowsy feelings, although I always have a terrible taste in my mouth. I would have an immediate discussion with your doctor (or pharmacist in the meantime). I have no idea if the dosage is based on weight, or anything else (I'm around 140 lbs on a good day  . Hope you find a solution soon!
