For Insomnia "Zopiclone is definitely worth a try if you’re experiencing insomnia. Personally, I use it when my own mental health is debilitating (I suffer from OCD and depression). Whenever my sleep pattern is hindered or I genuinely can’t get to sleep, I take one. Half an hour to 45 minutes, it starts to kick in. It’s a short-term-use drug, however, which is annoying because when my mental health hits the fan, I just want to sleep through it until I get better. But I digress, great drug and definitely worth a try. Side effects: drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, gross taste in mouth."

For Insomnia "I'm on shift work. I take half a 7 mg tablet about 4 days a week. Usually, if I wake after 3 hours of sleep, it gives me three plus hours more. You will feel groggy for an hour after, but that fades quickly. Does not affect energy or appetite."

For Insomnia "Have been taking 7.5 mg for years. At first, it worked, but for the past few months, it does not seem to work at all. I keep taking it in the hope it will work again. I tend to feel groggy the day after."

For Insomnia "Use half a tablet every now and again to help me get to sleep. This doesn’t stop me from waking up in the middle of the night. No drowsy feeling or headache in the morning. Good to use occasionally."

"I have taken 1 Zopiclone if I have to fly. I never flew for 35 years and was able to fly again. I only take 1 for takeoff, not landing. It does not make me groggy after landing or days following."
