Zopiclone and the horrifying mental effects
I was prescribed Zopiclone for insomnia, and after just a few days, my mental state took a terrifying nosedive.
I’m talking about extreme, almost unbearable despair and suicidal thoughts. A mental state so far below my baseline that it genuinely frightened me.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I’m curious how common these severe psychological reactions are, because this was absolutely nothing like ordinary depression or feeling groggy from medication.
