Personal Report:Zopiclone
Zopiclone
Experience Report
Unlike benzodiazepines, I can actually feel zopiclone, although only slightly.
It was originally prescribed to help me sleep, but I found that the standard dose did very little. I only started noticing clear effects around 15 mg, where it produced mild relaxation together with strange closed-eye hallucinations. Ironically, despite being prescribed for insomnia, it still didn't reliably help me fall asleep.
I've also tried it recreationally. The effects are subtle, I'd compare them to drinking two or three beers. It's not particularly euphoric (besides the comeup) or intoxicating, but it can be nice if I'm simply looking to unwind.
The hallucinations are probably the weirdest part of the experience. At higher doses, or especially when mixed with other drugs they can become surprisingly vivid. Sometimes they're fascinating, while other times they're genuinely unsettling. It's very unpredictable but in a bad way.
Overall, I actually like it. It's not a drug I'd actively seek out, but it's one of the few depressants that has produced noticeable effects for me.
