Hi @Agnia sorry to hear you're still having sleep issues.  I was given a short term prescription of Phenergan when I was having insomnia and anxiety issues and it definitely helped me to sleep.  It didn't give me the same 'hangover' and weird taste in my mouth that zopiclone gave me.  But it will be different for most people. 

Agnia

Hi thank you Albus 
i didn’t have weird taste from zopiclone in my mouth 
the doctor doesn’t want to give me more zopiclone , zopiclone was helping me to sleep

Maybe the new meds will help you sleep too?

Hi @Agnia, Medicines can affect different people in different ways depending on their medical needs, but hopefully some of our members might have some experience with it and can share how they got on. 

Have you been prescribed these by your doctor? Did they explain what they were for and how they would help you? 

Agnia

it’s makes me more anxious i was just starting to sleep from the help from zopiclone and and was helping me and i got a different now because the doctor said that zopiclone is addictive but im feeling really unwell and it was helping me 
i don’t drink don’t smoke other things in life can be addictive as well and zopiclone was definitely helping me 

Agnia

Hi Rosie yes from the doctor 
im feeling worse because she doesn’t want to give me more zopiclone 

Rosie_Scope

That's a shame @Agnia, but I'm sure your doctor has good reasons for not continuing your other drug. This one might work just as well if you give it a shot, and you can always go back to your doctor if it doesn't work out for you

Agnia

Hi Rosie the doctor said it can cause addiction but it was helping me 
can zopiclone really make my condition worse than already is ? 

It was helping me 
this situation about changing these tablets ( when they are helping me ) makes me really anxious and worse 

Agnia

im really not happy about it and makes me worse 
coffe sugar bread alkohol work sex internet and other things can cause addiction as well for people 

Rosie_Scope

I can understand that it must be very stressful to keep changing @Agnia, it's true that those things can be addicting too. But hopefully your new drug will be helpful as well, it's always worth a try.

Agnia

Hi Rosie im really not happy about it because zopiclone was helping me and antidepressant can cause addiction not only zopiclone 

Rosie_Scope

@Agnia Did you manage to tell your doctor how unhappy you are about it when she prescribed the new one? Maybe she'd be able to give you some advice

Agnia

Yes Rosie i did tell to the doctor about it she said that zopiclone cause addiction 

Albus_Scope

Unfortunately zopiclone is pretty addictive, which is why doctors will only prescribe it in small doses. They want to try and get your body and mind into a 'normal' sleep routine with help from the drugs. It's really best not to take zopiclone long term, as it can really muck your sleep up even more if you keep taking them regularly, as your body and mind get so used to them.

 Have you tried the new meds yet? I really hope they work well for you.  


(of course I am not a doctor, this is just my personal experience.)

Agnia

Hi Albus there is something missing in my brain that cause insomnia and other things in my life  are causing insomnia as well 

Agnia

like chemical imbalance

@Agnia

I had the exact same experience as Albus with zopiclone they left a terrible taste in my mouth so couldn’t take them. 

Phenergan were really helpful to me.
I hope if you give them a chance they will help you.

❤️

Agnia

Hi Lou thank you 
i didn’t have any bad experience with zopiclone at all
these tablets were definitely helping me to sleep 
for me it was really important that they worked for me 
and that they cause addiction it’s not a problem because many other things in life can cause addiction as well 
and to change the medication while this medication is helping me is really stressing me causing anxiety and makes me uncomfortable and more unwell
