In reply to Ed ....... zopiclone, posted by maryhelen on November 3, 2006, at 18:24:19
Hi MH
Cases of dependence have been reported for both zopiclone and zolpidem. I have only taken zolpidem myself, and had definite withdrawal symptoms when I stopped (after short term use only)......the worst symptom was the terrible fear and tension, it was awful.
Among the other meds I've taken for sleep, mirtazapine was the most effective - at the cost of daytime sedation and weight gain.
Regards
Ed
