Zopiclone (Canadian Sleeping Pill)

[i-POOP-outside]

Has anyone heard about them, cause in canada that's all they gave you for sleep stuff. Does anyone know what a good mix is with them?

Hey man, this is sold in the U.S under the brand Lunesta. In Canada it´s called Imovane.

They didn´t work that great for me when I tried them a few times for their intended purpose which is sleep problems. The next day, or maybe for two days, everything tasted metallic whenever I drank water.

They´de probably ok for moms who want to sleep on an airplane or something, but they weren´t so strong.

But you´re referring to recreational purposes. Well I didn´t achieve any high. I took a bunch but nothing. Although they are a sedative hypnotic like Ambien so maybe you could take a bunch and stay awake and catch something. Or mix it with alcohol. Or perchance it potentates opiates. I don´t know for sure.

Be careful.

I found when I was prescribed (only) 5mg per night, I got to sleep but only stayed asleep for 2 hours (this was on the tail end of a 5 day insomnia streak with about 4 hours sleep total). I said the taste was unbearable that it left in my throat and said it gave me the shits and I got Oxazepam. If it doesn't work for you, there are alternatives, though benzos are certainly not a long term plan.

Oh recreation, take 15-20mg, should give you a similar but weaker high that's like Ambien, less trippy, more sedating/benzo-esque I hear.

zopiclone is actually called imovane while lunesta is eszopiclone... in america we get 1,2, and 3mg pills of eszopiclone aka lunesta... im presribed the 3mg. their kind of like ambien and sonata (zolpidem and zopiclone) but i find it the least psychedelic of the z drugs

p.s. PREPARE FOR HORRRIBLE METALIC TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH, please have candy or something very sweet ready... water taste like what i would imagine mercury would taste like if someone were to dink it lol...anyway bad taste, not bad feeling, but not an amazing one...

Up here they come in 5mg and 7.5mg....they do leave a really bad taste in your mouth, but they work great with any kind of morphone (or hydomorphone) and I find if you smoke a little herd, that stuff can make to talk...............and with the tasta, just drink some ice cold pepsi............just gaves you a nice kick!

A couple thoughtages.

Firstly, I have had Ambien which is another Zol drug. That fucks your brain up something weird. You do weird shit. Idk if Zopiclone does it though.

Secondly, if you are looking for a good nights sleep, look at Doxylamine. Its in a few cold meds, mainly Nyquil. Idk if they will have it up in the big white north, but check it out. Its the most powerful OTC sleep med, and its an antihistamine. Some studies show its stronger than prescribed stuff.

I honestly get put out real nice by it, and its cheap as hell.

I second the Metallic taste mentioned by rollontheground (mentioned by me first) and the effectiveness of the Zol drugs mentioned by delsymfan and that Doxylamine is way more effective than a scripted sleep-aid and you can be sure that it will always work. That or diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

I´ve had Lunesta and Ambien prescribed, and when Ambien worked, itw worked fine, but it is so hit or miss that it´s not realiable enough for someone like me (and I imagine many of the rest of the bluelighters) who is tolerant to many drugs.

Plus one time Ambien made me sleepwalk. This occurred about a month before the Ambien sleepwalking thing became big news, and when I when I told my psychiatrist, he said he had never hear of that side effect before. I walked in on my roommate and his friends playing cards wearing just my boxer shorts. One of his friends was a girl who I had a crush on and who I was gonna ask out, and that kinda ruined my chances. So thanks Ambien! Can you sue the drug companies for cock-blocking?

it' not only restricted to canada, personnaly i go a bow one, it worked for 2 days, and then it would jusst keep me awake, so i gave em to a friend.. who said the same, first few worked, but no more

They are shit..................................Really Shit!

 

[debaser]

Better than nothing I suppose... I don't believe too much the Wikipedia page on doxylamine btw. Weak stuff.

Zopiclone was the first sleeping pill I was ever prescribed, as I've suffered from insomnia for years. It worked well at first, but my tolerance grew unbelievably fast. Eventually I was needing at least 10 x 7.5mg tablets each night just to fall asleep, before finally giving up on that and switching to temazepam. Zopiclone is more of a "sleep inducer" than a sedative, meaning it helps you to initially fall asleep, but it doesn't really do much to keep you asleep, unlike benzos. I never found it very recreational.

I find Zopiclone to be recreational. It gives me a nice little head buzz for some reason. Other people find it to be crap. You'll have to see for yourself if you find it recreational or not.

In terms of mixing Zopiclone with other stuff, I enjoy mixing it with Oxycodone but it can be dangerous.
