Frequently asked questions

Can Eszopiclone impact memory?

Memory impairment is rare but may occur, particularly if sleep is disrupted or if there's a delay in sleeping after taking the medication. To minimize this risk, patients should ensure they can achieve a full night's uninterrupted sleep (7 to 8 hours).

Is Eszopiclone considered safe for use?

Yes, Eszopiclone is safe when taken at prescribed doses for a short duration (less than 4 weeks). Prolonged use increases the risk of dependence and abuse.

Does Eszopiclone have potential for abuse?

Yes, Eszopiclone has abuse potential, especially with higher doses, prolonged use, or when combined with other psychoactive substances. The risk is heightened in individuals with a history of substance abuse or psychiatric disorders.

Is it safe to drive after taking Eszopiclone?

Eszopiclone may cause central nervous system depression, impairing driving and machine operation abilities. It is unsafe to drive within 12 hours of taking the medication.

What are the symptoms of an Eszopiclone overdose?

Symptoms of an Eszopiclone overdose may include confusion, drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, breathing difficulties, hypotonia, loss of balance, deep sleep, or even coma, potentially due to low blood pressure.

How long does it take for Eszopiclone to take effect?

Eszopiclone begins to work shortly after ingestion, reaching peak levels within an hour. It may induce sleepiness that can last, so it is recommended to take it right before bed or after attempting to sleep. Ensure you can remain in bed for at least 7 to 8 hours post-ingestion.

Is it safe to consume alcohol while taking Eszopiclone?

No, alcohol should be avoided while taking Eszopiclone, as it can enhance the medication's sedative effects, leading to severe drowsiness and potential breathing issues.

What is the recommended duration for taking Eszopiclone?

Treatment with Eszopiclone should be brief, ideally not exceeding four weeks, including a tapering period. For transient insomnia, 2-5 days is recommended, while short-term insomnia may require 2-3 weeks.
