Can Taking Half A Dose Of Zopiclone Cause Less Drowsiness?

Hi I was put on PMS - Zopiclone 7.5 mg and I took my first one last night and I only took 1/2 of one because I ve never used sleeping pills before and wasn t sure how it would effect me. I took it around 8:30 pm last night and i felt very drowsy until 10:00 am this morning, is this something that will be less frequent if I were to take the other half a pill tonight?? I was put on these because I had to be taken off Diamicron MR because it was causing anxioty and panic attacks and I was having a hard time sleeping at night

Hi,

Zopiclone 7.5 mg initially causes such problems, but after a few days of adjustment, you will feel better and no morning drowsiness.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
