What Causes Severe Anxiety After Withdrawing From Zopiclone?
Took zopiclone for 2months-now have rebound insomnia-did not sleep at all for a week. Tried chlorphenamine for a few days with no result. Now taking circadin 2mg for three nights. Slept 1hr on second night, 5hrs last night but getting jittery & anxious again. Is this a side effect or is it still the zopiclone leaving my system.

Hello,
You can't stop Zopiclone suddenly. You should lower the dose gradually for two weeks in order to tapper down the withdrawal symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
