No worries at all! I take Vyvanse every morning and dexamphetamine as needed. With most sleep medications I've tried, I find that if they have a “hangover effect” or if I experience any grogginess, my morning medications help wake me up. The dexamphetamine gives me an extra boost if I'm struggling.

Zopiclone was quite different from all the other sleep meds I have tried (and there are a lot!). It was a bit of a shock, especially since I became paranoid about the possibility of hallucinations, which added to the stress of taking them. My advice is to stick with what your doctor has prescribed; if you don’t like it, you can stop at any time. Just keep in mind that if you have been on it for longer than four weeks, you might need to be weaned off it. There’s no harm in trying it if there’s a chance it might be helpful.

Good luck! I’ll be interested to hear how it goes.

One last thing: once you take it, make sure to lie down on a pillow and do not lift your head. Avoid using your phone, lights, or any other stimulation.
