Docs are recommending I take this as I have developed post stroke insomnia.
Doc reckons it's fine but I've always been a bit nervous with sleeping tablets. Anyone taken these and did they have any unwanted effects?

Good at what they do treble - ie send you into a nice sleep.
But they are quite addictive after just a short while using them. |

I took them before.They work very well for insomnia and also for anxiety.

They're ok, but only for a few days, maybe a week, to get you back into a normal sleeping pattern.
They can leave a sort of bitter taste/dry mouth, or possibly make you feel a bit tired the next day, but not always. 7.5 is, I believe the usual dose, but 3.75 might do the trick. |

They weren't consistently effective over the month or so I took them and I always had a hangover in the morning, they left a horrible taste in my mouth too which was a fecker to get rid of and far more annoying than you'd think.

Forgot about the taste they left, like a metallic after-taste. Never had the hangover feeling, just a bit drowsy for a few minutes when waking up but first coffee and **** soon shook that off.
I took them to counteract the high dose of steroids I was on which made me hyper; trying to survive on 2 hrs sleep a night was impossible. |

I will try them and see how I get on. I really just hope they get me back into a cycle and I can stop taking them pretty lively. My Aunt took them for a while and got addicted. I certainly don't want to go there. Interesting about the anxiety as I also suffer from that so will be interesting to see what effect they have.
If they don't do the job and nothings getting better I'll just take the lot at once and be done with it (joke!) |

They actually did work at first but betting for a living and still buzzing when going to bed doesn't help,think they are a tricylic so they are supposedly hypnotic I don't get that effect anymore I basically take them just to get some sleep at some point.I take them on top of propranolol as well and I still don't sleep.

I have taken these for the past 3 months . and find them helpful for helping me sleep. Although occasionally I find it necessary to take 2 of the 3.75 ones to send me to sleep.
I take them to counter kind of panic attacks which my G.P. was unsure of diagnosis. I went to casualty dept of the hospital in the early hours of the morning due to sleep deprivation, and they packed me off with some diazepam, which when taken appeared to send me on a trip:). Since taking zopiclone I have had no sleep problems, but was made aware of the problem of addiction by my own G.P. But at my advanced age, I don't worry hennigan poker |

I was taking them this time last year whilst seething about my ex girlfriend. They do the job but are a waste of time in the long run. The doc's tell you to just have them when you need them, but if you've got em and know you'll sleep properly....you'll take them. So yes they are addictive. As soon as they run out...your sleep pattern will be even worse.
