In reply to Zopiclone Discontinuation and Withdrawal, posted by K. Von Balk on September 5, 2002, at 13:57:32
I don't know the answer, but my psychiatrist is encouraging me to come off Zopiclone and Xanax. He does at least advise that this be very gradual. I said "but Zopiclone isn't a benzo" (they're insanely anti-benzo in New Zealand at the moment), and he replied, "No but it might as well be." A mysterious remark. The fact is that since I gave up alcohol many weeks ago I can't sleep so I turn up for work zombied out. The alternative is to take Zopiclone and have a good night's sleep and no detectable side-effects.
