>Here is my experience for what it's worth. I took Zopiclone every night for 3 years. For much of the final year I fought off drowsiness during the day. Only on giving it up do I realise the probable culprit was Z. I figure the half-life of 5 hours caused accumulation over time, particularly as I was taking 15 mg and the quoted half-life is for 7.5 mg. Whether this would happen with the new drug I don't know

Hi Fred,
It wouldn't have been that the drug accumulated, the day time drowsiness occurs because the drug hasn't worn off by the time you get up. Avoid Lunesta, it would almost certainly have the same effect.
