I think you need to discuss this with your doctor. Long term use of sleeping tablets can cause daytime anxiety because withdrawal symptoms can occur between doses. You may feel extremely anxious and tense.

You really do need to consider coming off zopiclone. It is not an ideal drug to be taking on a long term basis. Ask your doctor to prescribe the low strength 3.75mg tablets, this will make it easier to reduce the dose. You could initially take 3 x 3.75mg tablets at night, then two, then one, then stop. It won't be easy but you will probably feel much better within a few weeks of stopping. Your doctor may prescribe you a sedating antidepressant such as mirtazapine to help you sleep.

Good luck.
