There is a large individual variability in the recovery time for dizziness when Zopiclone is abruptly discontinued, and recovery usually occurs within a few weeks.
Zopiclone is used for the treatment of insomnia and is a non-benzodiazepine drug with relatively little dependence and morning residual effects.
Abrupt discontinuation of Zopiclone is prone to rebound effects, leading to worsening of symptoms and adverse effects such as dizziness, headache, insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, tremor, etc. The recovery time is usually within a few weeks, or it may be longer, more than a few months. Therefore, patients should stop the drug slowly and taper off the dosage.
Common adverse reactions to the drug include drowsiness, bitter mouth, dry mouth, and headache. It is contraindicated in people who are allergic to the drug, people with respiratory compensatory insufficiency, pregnant women, lactating women, children.
The drug should be used under the supervision of a physician. In the event of significant discomfort, you should promptly go to the hospital.
