Sorry If this is prefixed wrong or in the wrong subboard 
I was prescribed 2mg tablets of eszopiclone for my chronic insomnia. I know that they are not "benzos" but I can not be prescribed benzos due to my past history of abuse/suicide attemptions with them. Usually I manic cycle by staying awake for 2-3 days then have to crash with 3-4 hours of sleep because if I don't by then i start to go a little crazy. I decided to take a 2 week vacation from my adderall doses just to see how it affected my insomnia. Insomnia was unbearable for 4 days. Fortunately I had a doctor appointment 5 days ago and was prescribed eszopclone. I tryed 2mg and it just seemed to produce some anxiolytic effects for me. Kind of felt like kpins and valium. Just felt a little more relaxed but my thoughts were a little awkward.
Day 1: Eszopiclone 2mg, Lamitrogine 200mg, Lithium 900mg (x300mg morning mid-day and night)
+30 mins after taking 2mg eszopiclone im feeling strong-anxiolytic effects and a little but of relaxed muscles. Not very drowsy but try to sleep anyways.
I managed to sleep 2 hours with very awkward dreams and felt kind of delerious. By 8am in the morning I felt ok. Still, only 2 hours of sleep.
Day 2: Eszopiclone 4mg, Lamitrogine 200mg, Lithium 900mg (x300mg morning mid-day and night)
I managed to sleep for 2 hours then wake up abrubply... but then fall asleep for 1 more hour. You know when you have too many kpins and you just feel like/mush jellow? thats how it felt.
Since im now off my vacation from adderall I've decided i would try something. Since the main feelings i get from eszopiclone are mainly anxiolytic and very little sedation decided I would take the eszopiclone dose at the same time I would take my adderall dose just to see if my anxiety while on adderall had gone down any with the addition of the eszopiclone. (yes i know eszopiclone is not an anxiolytic, but closesly related to drugs in those families so i thought it would help)
Day3: 9am Took 1 of eszopiclone (2mg) then Took 40mg adderall XR 20mg adderall IR with a large glass of water and a banana.
Time of now is 1:37pm and Ive noticed that my anxiety is far-less than it would have been if I just took the 60mg adderall alone. Usually on amps i become pretty anxious and tense. Really easy to induce a panic attack for me on adderall. I would have to say the zopiclone + adderall is having me feel pretty chill... I am noticing some odd funny hallucinations (they seemed similar, but different, and way less strong than a psilocybin trip. I am also noticing a very small amount of hallucinations related somewhat to the kind ive had when taking ambien in the past and stayed up, everything shaking, breathing, waving, etc) Colors seem vibrant, the curtain shades seem to be breathing and im having this very transparent colorful electrifying wave moving around my computer screen. Also when looking at psychadelic images my it seems that there is a large field of depth to be viewed than vs sober. And each layer of depth is breathing. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Im surprised as to how relaxed and tranquil i currently feel.
Everytime I took ambien and actually stayed up and the hallucinations started my anxiety went nuts and I would start getting scared. Its odd watching myself type this message as the words are coming into the screen at a serpantine formation.8)
