Tapering Off Zopiclone

Does anyone know how to taper off this nasty drug? Take 15mg every night sometimes during day too. Have been on this drug for five years, prescribed 7.5mg from Dr (script of 14 every month).

If you are only taking 14 a month, that is not a crazy amount, so you should be able to taper off of them, do so slowly is usually best.

Have you informed your doctor that you want to stop taking it? They may be able to help you with a proper tapering schedule.

How often do you take it? Do you take them right in a row, so you are out for the rest of the month, or do you space them out over the month?

The NHS warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, hallucinations, and next day hangover-like effects.
