So up until a couple weeks ago I was on Ambien 10mg (Zolpidem) prescription, but decided to dodge the doctor's office (I don't have insurance). While I don't use ambien every night, I use it if i know i need a good nights rest or have something important I need to do in the morning. I love just waiting about 15 minutes and then..poof, it's time to wake up :)

So I bought 1g Zopiclone powder, at a much more cost effective rate. Has anybody had experience with this and may offer comparisons to ambien/zolpidem?
 
Main difference is it is longer lasting and can mess you up the next day. Also slightly longer for effects to take hold or perhaps less potent if you will. Be careful you don't use z-drugs regularly as they are honestly just as bad as benzos if not more toxic with no upside. Have you tried an antihistamine like doxylamine?

I've tried them all. Every single sleep aid available. Doxylamine isn't bad..but I usually have to take 100mg for it to take effect. I despise Diphenhydramine...it makes me much more dysfunctional than zolpidem the next day.

Last night I took 20mg zopiclone and was excessively groggy/uncoordinated this morning. More than I ever was on ambien. So I took half an adderall, that fixed that. I think tonight I'll step down to about 15mg, see how that goes.
 
yeah my last script for zolpidem was for 30 pills, and i used them in 29 days. Do you think that would be enough to create dependency/ w/d symptoms?
