zopiclone not working anymore!

[Ami]

Im on zopiclone 7.5mg, but i still wake up through the night, wide awake. And in the morning too about 5/ 5:30

Has this happened before to anyone? Whats next?

Have a bit of a break from taking it, and then try again.
And tell your doc.

this has happened to me and my dr has said that its because your body builds up a 'tolerance' to it so it therefore becomes ineffective. Try having a break for a night or two and trying again. Also, zopliclone only enables you to get off to sleep, not keep you asleep so that is probably why u wake up early - thats what i was told anyway.
much love

I built up a tolerance to Zopiclone. It doesn't really work for me at all anymore but hopefully if you speak to your Doctor they can suggest something or like the other posters said, take a break from it and then try again.
Hope you find something that works soon!

Yeah I built up a tolerance to it too, and whilst it worked for about a week, it didn't really help in the long run because the insomnia was caused by underlying issues and stuff, so the sleeping tablets are only really some kind of sticking plaster to help the symptoms.

Maybe go back to the doctor and say it's not working, I don't know if you're getting help or anything, but as therapy continues sleeping often improves.

I've been taking Melatonin for a year and have found it's really helped. It's not so much a sleeping tablet as a booster of the enzyme/hormone (I can't do biology so I'm not even going to try and work out which one it is) that reacts to light and dark to make you sleep. It tends to work throughout the night as opposed to others which are just used to put you to sleep.

Take care x
