>Would you think this maybe only a coincidence or is it likely it was the zopiclone?
I don't think it's a coincidence. Flurazepam is very long acting and produces a sedating/anxiolytic effect the following day. Also, it will reduce zopiclone withdrawal symptoms, if they were they] problem. I think it would be useful to ask your doctor to prescribe a long acting benzo instead of zopiclone, and then to reduce gradually. If you have had issues with misuse the past, you should ask the doctor to prescribe small quantities at once and have frequent reviews.
>My friend also gave me a packet of Sleepeaze 50mgs which are an over the counter sleeping aid from Boots in England.It's diphenhydramine, a sedating antihistamine. It can help you sleep at first but it tends to become ineffective after a few days of consecutive use. I don't think it would affect your daytime anxiety very much.
