Hello Mr. Becker!
Thank you for keeping us up to date.
Eszopiclone isn't (yet) available in the UK but zopiclone has been widely prescribed for many years. Zopiclone is approved for short term use only but is commonly used for many months at a time. Both abuse and physical dependence have been reported. The question is, will eszopiclone prove to have any significant advantages over zopiclone? ....or it is just hype! I imagine the approval for longer-term use will make it popular.
Regards,
Ed.
