Hi.
It's very uncommon that Zopiclone 7,5mg didn't help you sleep! But what's more uncommon and even ridiculous is that your doctor puts you on Promethazine Hydrochloride 25mg, which, as I explained earlier, is not even a medication for sleeping but an antihistamine for allergies, including hay fever and hives, after having prescribed you Zopiclone!
Some doctors who are reluctant to prescribe proper sleeping medications, such as zopiclone and zolpidem tartrate, due to their long term addiction tendency, usually prescribe Promethazine Hydrochloride 25mg for its sedative effect, which is its main side effect, rather than its function.

Yeah I took the tablet over an hour ago and feel nothing.
All Zopiclone did for me was give me a bitter taste that was couldn’t sleep at all on it.1 -
What you've to understand is that sleeping is a process in which you've to take part and shouldn't expect medications to do everything for you, as they're not supposed to strike a blow onto the back of your head. You need to cooperate with the medication and do your part.

I completely agree with you. My routine on zopiclone was I took it about 30 minutes before bed. Then laid down and tried to get a comfy as I could.
I don’t think I’m going to take this tablet again. I don’t want to take something that doesn’t affect me for the sake of my doctor telling me to take it. Already have enough medication in my system.I’m just so tired now I get like an hour a night and my eyes are starting to show it. Starting to feel so weak due to lack of sleep.

Hi @letitbe , thank you so much ❤️
Hi ,
im sorry i think im not doing Ok , i created this topic ( and now i even started to question myself again if i was the one who created this topic and i also started to question my reliability and whether i was seeing what i was seeing or maybe it was just what i was imagining under the influence of circumstances on the forum recently) , ….and i created this topic due to very difficult circumstances and also for every member of this Scope forum , so that people can write their thoughts and share their experiences regarding insomnia here
And suffering from a very severe insomnia and today i was sure that i saw one comment here under this insomnia topic and i can’t find it here and also cannot find any annotation from the Scope team informing about the deletion of the comment and the reason for deleting the comment if it happened, if any comment was deleted here today under this topic and whether any comment was deleted under this topic at all
The week has only just started and it’s already too much for me i definitely don’t feel ok today and yesterday too

I have trouble typing on this site and my posts can disappear too. I find that if I press return before 'post comment', then more often than not, my post appears.

Hi @Mary_Scope , Please i would like to confirm that i just found my emails that i wrote to Scope on February 27, 2023 when i couldn’t express myself on the forum and i couldn’t write anything on the forum ( to this day i don’t know what i did wrong) and I felt very bad then , without any hope completely Alone , Lonely with severe Depression and Anxiety and dark thoughts and I received response from Scope that if Scope team are concerned about members wellbeing and protecting their online safety they may push their comments into an approval queue. Please i would like to confirm it again here ( and i described this situation which affected me and lowered my self esteem and my credibility earlier this week in my emails as well) and im kindly asking whether my online safety and my well being was also protected? Kind regards.

Hi @Agnia I hope you're ok. I think we'll have to do a bit of digging into 2023 as it was quite some time ago and come back to you if that's ok? It might not be today.
We do try our upmost to protect and support members on the forum. What I will say is you're not presently on any comment review, and we don't implement this without making people aware. We also won't delete/moderate comments without making you aware. We try to be as open as we can, and to explain our reasons. 🙂
There have been some instances recently where new users comments have defaulted to spam for some strange reason, but we release these and do make people aware of what's happened so they're not worried it's something we've done.
I hope all of the above is ok. Please reach out if you need to in the meantime.
Best wishes,

Hi.
May I please ask you how I can remove all my posts and delete my account altogether, as I've got enough seeing my posts either not getting posted, deleted, or edited?
You've no right to edit or cut off parts of people's comments. If you want you cannot post them but not edit them.
Your stupid censorship irritates me. Are you going to delete this one as well?
Thanks.

I have just sent you a message about how to delete your account and the reasons why your comments have been moderated in this thread.0 -

Hi.
As you can see it, they've scribbled "{removed - medical advice}" under my post after having cut large parts of my post off. What medical advice have I given?
Am I giving medical advice, for instance, if I advice someone, who has tried Zopiclone without success, to ask their GP if they could prescribe them Zolpidem, which is internationally known to be better? Hell, no. Do GPs prescribe medications following my advice? Hell, no.
Am I giving medical advice, if I tell someone that lower doses of Mirtazapine are often used for management of insomnia and 7.5mg is the ideal dose, which is a fact known to all doctors, anyone who's taking Mirtazapine, and anyone who's knowledgeable about antidepressants, tetracyclic antidepressants, and hypnotics? Hell, no, as, again, no GP prescribes anything following the advice of someone else.
If this was the case, Google, as a search engine, would have long been banned from making such an information accessible to the public.
In addition, moderating is by no means editing or cutting parts of someone's post/comment off. This ridiculous type of censorship doesn't even exist in North Korea.
Furthermore, I don't even think you know the meaning of "medical advice".
For your information, medical advice is: Guidance or recommendations from a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional regarding a person's health or fitness.
Therefore, from the above definition of "medical advice", I've by no means given any medical advice, as I haven't claimed to be anyone else other than a "passerby".

Hi @Passerby , thank you very much for writing here , i will ask my gp doctor if she could prescribe me Zolpidem tartrate 10 mg instead of Zopiclone and to see what effect it will have on the treatment of my insomnia , thank you very much Kind regards. ♥️

You're welcome.
Only a heavy blow on the back of the head makes people fall asleep quicker than Zolpidem tartrate. This is why it's advised not hang around after having taken it. One has to be in bed 10 minutes after having taken it. If you hang around long, it produces the opposite effect, which means it would make your brain more active and you might end up cooking, cleaning, emailing, writing stuff up, or even going out and driving without realising and not remembering them the following day. There's what's called Ambien email. Ambien is the brand name of zolpidem tartrate in the US, Canada, and Mexico. People write emails after having taken Ambien/Zolpidem and don't remember ever have written such emails the following day; hence the term "Ambien email".
