Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Cannabis plant contains cannabinoids which are known to cause mental disturbances like anxiety, depression, personality disturbances and memory loss in the long run.

Zopiclone is a hypnotic and sedative and is usually prescribed for insomnia.
When on Zopiclone, Cannabis can add to your present symptoms and cause depression, dizziness and insomnia.

My suggestion to you would be to try and stop the intake of Cannabis if you are on it, atleast during the period when you are on medication.

Hope this answers your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Regards.
