^ I understand eszopiclone to be the active stereoisomer of zopiclone, wouldn't that make it pretty much the same drug exept twice the potency of racemic zopiclone?
I can't say I have ever had the pleasure of trying either, I just read a lot about drugs. The only "Z drug" I have tried is zolpidem tartrate marketed as 'stilnox', I believe it is marketed as 'ambien' in North America.
It is quite enjoyable, especially when combined with marijuana and/or moderate amounts of alcohol. I did find when I only had one weak tablet left that it worked quite well to potentiate some valium mixed with a little codeine.
Have you tried zolpidem? If so how would you compare it to zopiclone? I understand zolpidem is a bit more trippy while zopiclone is more sedating and euphoric? It certainly sounds like I would enjoy it more than I enjoy zolpidem, as that is probably my least favourite reasonabely potent sedative.
