I was a shift worker for 27 years and now I do not sleep well. I was told that zopiclone was not addictive. It is not but once you start it you may not sleep without it. I got to the stage where it put me to sleep but did not keep me asleep. I can not explain it but sleep did not feel like sleep. I slept poorly before zopiclone and even worse with it.
I tapered down and quit. Now I take THC drops in the evening. The THC does not keep me asleep all night but I feel comfortable all night and well rested in the morning. The THC also takes the edge off my hip and shoulder pain that usually starts up in the evening.
If I could go back in time I would not let any doctor talk me into taking Zopiclone.
