Eszopiclone works quickly and can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
It has fewer side effects and is less habit-forming than other medications used to induce sleep.
Eszopiclone is to be used for short periods only, no longer than 1-2 weeks.
Stopping eszopiclone can lead to rebound insomnia (worsening of sleep problems) for the first few nights.
This medicine can lead to excessive drowsiness and dizziness the morning after use, especially at high doses.
Eszopiclone can cause serious and potentially life-threatening sleep behaviors like sleepwalking, sleep driving, having sex, cooking, and making phone calls while not fully awake.
