Zopiclone is used to treat a sleeping problem called insomnia. It belongs to the group of drugs called non-benzodiazepine hypnotics. It works in a way that it reduces the time it takes to fall asleep and increases the amount of time you sleep.
Yes, zopiclone is addictive, but not for everyone. It is addictive for patients who have earlier faced addiction and chemical abuse.
Zopiclone starts working within an hour. But you must take it when you can have 7-8 hours to sleep. Hence, it is recommended to take it before going to bed or when you can’t fall asleep. Remember to take it when you know you can have a proper 7-8 hours’ sleep.
You can take Zopiclone for four weeks. For transient sleepiness, the period should be 2-5 days, and for short-lived sleeplessness, the duration is 2-3 weeks.
Yes, it is safe to take Zopiclone, but you must consult your doctor.
