    i felt definitely better and i slept definitely better after zopiclone 
    zopiclone is a new generation drug doesn’t disturb the sleep structure , improves sleep quality, and feeling after waking up and it had such an effect on me 
    The risk of addiction is greater in people who were addicted to alkohol or other medications 
    i have never been addicted to any medications i don’t drink alkohol at all 
    im really not happy about this situation

     Why do you keep comparing addictions to other things in life to a prescription drug? It's not just the addiction being the reason they won't give it regularly, it's because your body soon gets used to it and then it has less effect. 

    Have you spoken to your Doctor? 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    i found this information on a psychiatric side  also from people who have knowledge in the field of psychiatry how these drugs work and from people who took these drugs 
    i haven’t slept all night 
    i took one tablet Phenergan which didn’t help at all 
    since 8 am the upstairs neighbor has been using a hammer drill 
    i got prescribed sertraline again even though i reported it earlier  that affects me badly

    Hi letitbe thank you for writing here about zopiclone and promethazine and thank you for sharing your experience 
    Hi Rosie thank you for writing here
    yes every body is different
    when i was writing at the beginning of this post “please could you help” i had in mind please could you help me for writing to me about your experience and could you write to me as in normal conversation what people have on the forum and also sharing the knowledge that people have regarding medications resulting from their experience after taking specific drugs and also expand this knowledge themselves studying available professional literature regarding this topic 
    i read a statement and the article recently that internist doctor who was the manager of the clinic said and admitted that it happened more than once that representatives of pharmaceutical companies they tried to corrupt her forcing prescriptions to be written for a specific drug 
    i have really a lot of stress and was  really grateful if anyone wrote to me

    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.

    ❤️
    yes it does help me sleeping better than zopiclone

    Hi there I was prescribed Diaz for many years by my Gp went into hospital and this was taken off me and I was given promethazine it doesn’t work at all I find it isn’t strong enough I don’t bother with it . I have nothing to treat my panic attacks now I have mirtazapine to help me sleep at night that works well for me .

    They always give it out in mental health hospitals in a joke it never works for any one I know you can buy him from boots over the counter . If you want some thing to help you sleep ask your doctor for mirtazapine that helps me sleep

    Hi cupcake, thank you very much for writing here ,
     i took mirtazapine in the past , unfortunately it didn’t help me sleep at night at all , however it caused a lot of sleepiness during the day , i fell asleep in the morning  and i was waking up at 3 pm or even at 5 pm because i couldn’t wake up earlier 
    zopiclone worked the best for me 
    yes i will ask the doctor again but mirtazapine didn’t help me sleep at night

    @Agnia again, not medical advice, but could it be worth asking your doctor about mirtazapine again, but maybe taking it in the evening, so the soporific effects kick in at night time? That's helped me in the past.
