Benzos zopiclone for anxiety

[Jen X]

Haha, if pregabalin doesn't remove your anxiety then nothing will, gabapentinoids work better than benzos IMO (except to stop an acute panic attack, nothing is better than benzos for that). Too bad they're also addictive (though not as badly addictive as benzos).

I'm odd. Lyrica gave me anxiety.

Benzos are the only thing that work for me. Doctor said they were not addictive over 10 years ago. Now with MS I'll be taking them the rest of my life.

Be careful using Zopiclone. 8 years ago I started out dosing Zop 7.5mg prn insomnia. Take 40 minutes before laying down say around 10:00pmish n should have done wore off by 6:00am the following morning. Very addicting though. Went from those 7.5 Zop's, to 10mg Zopisigns, and there at the end I was taking 50-60mgs x twice daily to satisfy my addiction. Yes they now make 20mg, and 25mg tablets now. My favorite were the 10mg Zopisigns, which came in 14 ct blister strips, 20mg Zopimax, and 25mg Zopimaxx the 25mg Zopimaxx I was getting for .18 cents a pill, n which is grab a total of usually around 5,000 - 7,500mg every 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping was $20.00usd for up to 500pills n which I was grabbing Soma's n Modafinil's also. Very awesome vendor of over 8 years. Our usd in India are a lot of $.
But for real, Zop has a very steep n slippery slope, so be safe fella's!!!

Yeah... Z drug... Almost fell on my face when I had to take a piss...

Tbh... Gabapentinoids would be my rec, I'm an alcoholic for some odd reason.

Yep, I'm in the UK meaning benzos are probably not an option. My GP has a no benzos or strong painkillers policy for any existing patient unless they've been advised by a specialist to do so. The furthest they'll go is acute Z-drugs for insomnia. Other than that its stuff like sertraline and I'm worried they'll just palm me off with an anti-depressant, which isn't what I want. Any idea why zopiclone isn't available in the US? I think here its the opposite with zolpidem being far less prescribed.
Ideally I'd like a short term benzo script and a referral to speak shit through with someone and figure out a long term non-medicated solution. but neither will happen. I've been told a referral at the moment will take around 3-4 months.

Bro try real kava. Z drugs suck horribly. Even for that. I’ve never actually seen or heard of anyone taking them for anxiety specifically but I don’t know everything or everyone so I guess. Sure it can have a calming effect. Doesn’t mean it will.

They don’t work the same as benzos I don’t believe.

Gabapentin even is an idea for anxiety use. It does help with anxiety ime. Surly you can get that in the UK?

Kava depending on what kind and quality is very nice for anxiety and mood in general. Not something I’d take every day but people do. There’s risks with taking it every day like anything but that’s for chronic
Users really. And the liver toxicity is blown way out of proportion. They weren’t using the right parts of the plant which caused the liver issues.

I never had a problem. Just order from a reputable supplier

I blacked out on zoplicone. Not to scare you but I blacked out on it and woke up in the hospital. Apparently I went and got fentanyl and ODd while blacked out. True story. I don’t even like fentanyl. I don’t take it usually. Haven’t in years.

My girl found me. So yeah I really think they are terrible drugs and maybe they help some but I just think there are better drugs for sleep ( the intended use)

I wonder if it’s anxiety or are you waking up in slight withdrawal? You mention it goes away when you take your dihydrocodeine. Just a thought.

I get bad anxiety and depression when I withdrawal usually from opiates/opioids. That could be it.

Z drug actually do a pretty good job at making u pass out... It's just when u wake up and need to take a piss when u need to watch ur step.

I have mirtaz as well and that makes me sleep for like 18h.

Eszopiclone, which is the active isomer of zopiclone, is available under the name Lunesta.

It's awful, tastes like a robot shit in your mouth and no where near as effective as Ambien. I wonder if OP can get gabapentin it helps me sleep well and seems to have some anti anxiety effects. Sucks OP can't get kpins, I've had a script for 10+ years, but I limit myself to as few as possible a month (5ish out of 20)

The ambien walrus can be quite the trickster. He's fun to hang out with until he's isn't.

i would rather have Lunesta 3mg instead of Ambien 10mg. The Ambien wears off to fast. I do not understand why Lunesta is limited to 3mg as the max dosage doctors can Rx. Lunesta 6mg is the dose I like.

 

[BadBoy377]

I genuinely find zopiclone better than ambien/zolpidem. It's just more recreational. IT does kill anxiety and if you're not used to it then it makes you all a bit wonky. That goes after a while. It just makes you sleep. The rebound xieanty is very unpleasan though.

These are the 3 drugs I wanted to share about that are helpful for stress and stress related syndrome symptoms. All three are not controlled so they are easy to get and they work very well for the purposes I listed. All three have many uses that tend to fit all personalities. I also like Benadryl in high doses 200mg-300mg for it's mild sedative relaxing effects.
