All I could say to everyone is be very careful about this drug and only use it if you can't sleep. If you use it and do not go to sleep you WILL have memory loss if you take alcohol. I am deadly serious about this. I took one pill 7.5mg and didn't notice anything but felt a little stupid about 4-5 hours into it but no big deal.
Fealt like Mr. Macho and took 22.5mg (3 pills) and went with a bunch of friends drinking. Within 30 minutes of being at the bar having my drink, I totally blanked out. I do not remember the entire night at all. Freaked me out because I never have had an experience where I am on "autopilot". My friends said I was talking and having a good time but I was a total switch from completely normal to extreme drunkenness in a flash and one of my friends said I wonder if someone slipped him a date rape pill as a joke. It was like a total dream. Sipping my beer and then I wake up in bed thinking that this never happened but it did with pictures and all.
I had 180 pills of it and just forgot about the pill until my sister called feeling really down and couldn't sleep for about a couple of days due to a fallout with her boyfriend so I said I have some hypnotic pills that will help you sleep as long as you don't go anywhere and go to bed and don't drink alcohol. Around 11PM I get a call from my brother that my sister is making no sense on the phone and is freaking out. And i'm like did she do what I think she did and called her and she was way out of it but was in bed sleeping so I felt better but she was making no sense. The next day she had no memory of the event but because she had seen all these numbers on her cell phone she had to call to find out what was going on. I asked her how many did she take and she said one but doesn't remember the night. She doesn't weigh much and I weight 230 so 1 for her could be the equivalent to 3 on me. She said she slept good though
Please be careful about this drug and use it for what it was intented for. I threw the pills down the garbage shout and pressed the button and will totally forget about that drug ever again. I wanna remember a good night and I want to sleep on my terms.

There are drugs that, when mixed with alcohol, cause major problems. Most people will tell you not to drink when taking benzos. This is correct, of course. However, there are a lot of people who really believe that 5 mg of valium and a shot of brandy can kill you. It ain't going to happen. One drug that I found that interacts with alcohol is zanaflex. I would go to sleep, get up, experience a "white out".. literally everything looked white. Then, I would pass out. I was lucky that I didn't kill myself before I figured out what was going on.
The other two drugs that come to mind immediately are APAP (you won't kill yourself right away, but eventually your liver will go) and darvon (you'll kill yourself right away).

I always thought that the little message on the bottle that said do not mix with alcohol or drive a motor vehicle while on this medication was just too strict. I'd have to say that on this one it needs it in red big big a$$ letters. What a night that was.

I have been using this med for almost four years now and find it to be far more effective than any other i've tried (the list is long). With Pharma24 now gone, can anyone recommend a reliable source?

one weekend me and my friend went out to a club and i didnt know she had taken a 2mg xanax before leaving the house as well as drinking so when i picked her up she seemed fine well we go to the club all was fine...she ran into her recently ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend so she met some guy there and he bought her a few drinks about 15 min after that she was gone she didnt remember a thing from that night so i thought maybe someone slipped something into her drink but she had told me she had taken 2 mg of xanax before leaving...she is not even rx'ed these meds so i am not sure on how she got them but i did tell her that it is very very dangerous to do that . she is still asking what happened that night (she even got kicked out of the club) and it has been about a month ago and she almost got arrested for harrassing the police about her getting kicked out of the club...she to this day is asking every weekend if i want to go out and i just tell her i am busy...what she does is just way too risky for me to be involved in

I find this thread very weird. Zopiclone is not a fun drug. It is a sleep drug. It leaves you with a horrible bitter taste in your mouth and makes you sleep. I find it very effective but I don't like the bitter taste. To take it and go out drinking is ... strange. Mixing booze (which is a CNS depressant) with other CNS depressants is not a good idea. Please do your homework before you experiment.
