Hi,
I also live in the UK and withdrawing from zispen, at least I hope I am. I am more depressed than before trying to get off this drug which only helped slightly and made other symptoms worse. I hope this is just a rebound depression that will fade away like the rebound insomnia does. The thing is I feel great for about five days after decreasing a dose, totally full of beans, cycling many miles in the week something I do not do often, and feeling really motivated despite a total lack of sleep (0-4hrs a night) I felt great!! But then the depression and anxiety creeps back in. I have been decreasing for a while in small increments and eventually the depression did fade with each decrease usually after 2 weeks to a more managable level. However I just decreased from 15mg to nothing and its been 2 weeks and mood wise I feel pretty awful, sort off back too square one.
I have not had any of the other symptoms you have apart from the sick feeling but that could just be the anxiety.My Pdoc said that zispen had no withdrawl symptoms, but said that my body may take time to adjust, if it does at all, lets hope so!!!
Anyway hope you feel better soon.
Lushkins.
