Hi, iwilper!
The maximum recommended adult dose is 3mg/day. If you're older the geriatric max is 2mg/day.
"Usual adult eszopiclone dose for insomnia:
Initial dose: eszopiclone 1 mg orally, once a day immediately before bedtime.
The dosage of eszopiclone may be increased to 2 mg or 3 mg if insomnia persists after 7 to 10 days of treatment, but doing this may increase the risk of sleepiness the next day.
The maximum dose of eszopiclone is 3 mg/day."
Hope this helps!
Regards, Wildcat
