Question

How dangerous is it to take zopiclone after drinking alcohol?

Answer 1

There's a notice in the box - just read it, in its warning part - alcohol together with zopiclone acts as kind of amplifier - don't get used to this otherwise there's a stronger risk of addiction - otherwise if you have to take this medicine every night, just restrain taking it if you're tipsy once a week -

If you're tipsy everyday you don't need Zopiclone - make your choice

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Depends how much alcohol you've had.  If you're on zopiclone you shouldn't be drinking because the alcohol stops the tablets from working.  My husband regularly used to drink 2 bottles of wine then pop 2 zopiclones, but I wouldn't try it myself

Answer 6

The alcohol will already make you tired. You may not wake up if you take them both!

Don't do it.

Answer 7

If you do mix this lethal concoction together you are not only risking Death, but dependency.

If you are prone to addiction of any substance or alcohol you are more likely to become addicted to this sleeping drug.

Don't gamble with your Life, Please!

Answer 8

Zopiclone will enhance the sedating effects of the alcohol, making you liable to pass out. Whilst it's not really going to affect your body a great deal chemically, it could cause still injury, by you falling over for example. If you're really having that much trouble sleeping, go back to your GP.
