Agnia

im really awake and i really need to be able to sleep 

Rosie_Scope

Did you manage to get any sleep @Agnia? Hope you got some rest eventually

Agnia

Hi Rosie yes a bit thank you 
but one tablet is too weak for me 
im really worried because without them im not able to sleep at all and if the doctor will limit them im not able to sleep 

Rosie_Scope

Glad to hear it @Agnia. That sounds really difficult. But hopefully if you're able to explain your worries your doctor might be able to help you find a plan that'll help you in the long term

Agnia

Hi Rosie 
im really worried because they said that these tablets can cause addiction but my health condition is already really bad and i really need them 
many other things can cause addiction for people like sugar coffee bread alkohol internet cigarettes  etc

Thank you Adrian 
they helped a bit 
the doctor said i can take two 
the one tablet has 7,5 mg 
i have only 6 left without them im not able to sleep at all completely no sleep at all 

Are you 100% sure your GP advised you can take 2? The usual dose for this is 7.5mg/night. Please be very careful about taking more medication than you should.  https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/zopiclone/how-and-when-to-take-zopiclone/

You really should be speaking to your GP with any issues you have regarding medication.

It's best to talk about this with your GP @Agnia, I know it can be really worrying, but they will be able to talk you through how your medications work and what dose to try, then perhaps find better solutions if they're not working out for you. I hope you're able to find a way to get some sleep soon

Agnia

Yes the doctor said i can take two 
I will ask again 
it’s scares me if she limits these tablets because they can cause addiction but other things cause addiction as well and i really need these tablets every night 
this place where i live is really noisy 
im not able to go for a walk to make myself tired and to help myself to be able to sleep 
it’s something missing in my brain that i can’t sleep and here is a constant noise from the street or neighbour slamming the doors even around midnight

@Agnia Sometimes it's about quality of life as well, I'm sure your doctor will help you find a way forward. In the past my doctor has prescribed me a drug that has some serious health risks, but they weighed it up with the risks of me not taking it which ended up being worse. If you can manage to get an appointment I'm sure they'll consider all your medical history and can talk through some of your worries

Agnia

 Thank you 

Agnia

im not coping with anxiety 

Rosie_Scope

Sorry to hear that @Agnia. Is there anything that's helped you in the past? Or anyone you could call to chat about it?

Agnia

i was calling Samaritans in the past to talk 

Rosie_Scope

That sounds like a good idea, were they helpful @Agnia? I hope you're feeling less anxious soon.
