Benzos I blackout from 7,5 mg zopiclone

(I put this under benzos even those it's a Z-drug)

Hi!

I've recently introduced myself to zopiclone. I can take 3,75 mg (half a tablet) with little anxiolytic benefit, but taking 7,5 mg makes me blackout. I thought I'd use this for treating anxiety, but it really seems to be a strong sleeping med. I really don't benefit from blacking out, and I was curious if others have experienced the same thing with this drug and dose? It shouldn't be THAT strong, should it? Am I just extra sensitive to this drug or what's the deal?

Sounds like it's working like it should.

Why don’t you just take the lower dosage if it works for you? And why not a benzo? That’s probably the most effective thing for anxiety.

In general, drugs that act on GABA receptors can be a little unpredictable. I’ve blacked out on 0.25 mg of Xanax with just 2 beers, whereas a lot of times in the past I’ve taken huge amounts of Xanax with way more alcohol and was completely fine, no blackout or anything. Go figure..
