I have to go to the city early tomorrow for blood work. I take zopiclone when i need to sleep and when i have it. Will it make the ritalin weaker at all if i take it 8 hours before

Zopiclone has a mean half life of 5~ hours and a maximum duration of at most 8 hours so it could potentially interfere with ritalin. I wouldn't expect you to actually notice it though, any interaction will be mild.

I take MPH on weekends and zopiclone at night. Also often combine light does of MPH, alprazolam, diazepam, and zopiclone. Have taken MPH + zops together and MPH in morn and zops later at night. Have always found that zopiclone pairs best with MPH or lisdex either together (at same time) or after at night to sleep. I have never noticed MPH feeling weaker after taking zopiclone going to sleep. I'm late to the thread but how did you find it? Was the MPH less effective with symtom relief (assuming ur using MPH for ADHD)?

I also have Zopiclone 7.5mg too, and it’s an effective hypnotic with Benzo binding profile subunit a1 & a5 hypnotic sedative properties…..in addition to the horrid metallic taste in your mouth there is a little CNS depressant, slight hangover, brain fog perhaps experienced next morning

Methylphenidate should break on through in proper doses, no dose ceiling and 40-60mg IR is sufficient for 60-70% DAT inhibition with euphoric CNS stimulation for 3-4h

Zopiclone is my last choice in current inventory……hypnotic sleep wise, maybe Clonidine 0.1mg and Trazadone 50mg are a great one-two punch for sleep

If I don’t have Pregabalin 300mg & Diazepam 30-50mg which is my real sleep combo

Every other compound seems like trash next to Valium. Best blockbuster drug in the history of modern pharmaceuticals. Valium and OxyContin, Ritalin, Lyrica …only drugs I’d ever need (Methadone in place of Oxycodone sadly, but still a heavy hitting opioid)
