How to use Zopiclone Stada).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insomnia (recurring after the end of treatment, so-called &#8220;rebound insomnia&#8221;)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After treatment with\u00a0benzodiazepines\u00a0or a benzodiazepine-like substance has ended, a temporary syndrome called &#8220;rebound insomnia&#8221; may occur.\u00a0Insomnia can then return to a more serious form.\u00a0Other symptoms may include mood changes, anxiety, and restlessness.\u00a0The risk of\u00a0withdrawal\u00a0&#8211; or so-called rebound symptoms &#8211; is greater if you stop treatment suddenly.\u00a0Therefore, your doctor may advise you to reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0of Zopiclone Stada gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tolerance development<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effect

(Anterograde&nbsp;amnesia&nbsp;)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benzodiazepines&nbsp;and benzodiazepine-like substances can lead to impaired short-term memory (anterograde&nbsp;amnesia&nbsp;).&nbsp;This occurs especially a few hours after taking the medicine.&nbsp;To reduce the risk of this, you should make sure you get 7 to 8 hours of undisturbed sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Psychic and &#8220;paradoxical&#8221; reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using&nbsp;benzodiazepines&nbsp;and benzodiazepine-like substances, the following reactions may occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

Stada and contact your doctor for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sleepwalking (somnambulism) and associated behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleepwalking and other associated behavior such as driving, cooking and eating, or making phone calls while asleep, without recalling the event afterward, have been reported in patients taking&nbsp;zopiclone&nbsp;who were not sufficiently awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of these behaviors increases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if alcohol or other specific medications (e.g. narcotic pain relievers,\u00a0antipsychotics, sleeping pills, or anxiolytics\/sedatives) are used during treatment with Zopiclone Stada<\/li><li>if Zopiclon Stada is used in a higher\u00a0dose\u00a0than the most

Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Risk of falling accidents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the muscle relaxant effect of\u00a0zopiclone, there is a risk of fall accidents, especially in the elderly when they get out of bed at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Zopiclone STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have

e.g.\u00a0morphine and morphine-like substances.\u00a0These can give an unnatural feeling of happiness (\u00a0euphoria\u00a0).\u00a0This can lead to increased psychological dependence.<\/li><li>Simultaneous use of Zopiclone Stada and opioid medicines (strong painkillers, medicines for the treatment of patients who have become addicted to\u00a0opioids\u00a0and certain cough medicines) increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (\u00a0respiratory depression\u00a0),\u00a0coma,\u00a0and can be life-threatening.\u00a0Because of this, concomitant use should only be considered by the physician when other treatment options are not possible.\u00a0If the doctor prescribes Zopiclon Stada at the same time as opioid drugs, the\u00a0dose\u00a0and duration of treatment should be limited by the doctor.<\/li><li>Tell your doctor if you are taking any opioid medication and follow your doctor&#8217;s dosage recommendations carefully.\u00a0It may be good to inform friends or relatives about the risks described above.\u00a0Contact a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.<\/li><li>medicines to prevent epileptic seizures

combination of Zopiclone Stada with muscle relaxants may increase the muscle relaxant effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following medicines may increase the effect of Zopiclone Stada.&nbsp;It may be

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zopiclon STADA with food, drink, and alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not consume alcohol in connection with the use of Zopiclone Stada.&nbsp;Alcohol can increase the

breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pregnancy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not take Zopiclone Stada if you are pregnant.\u00a0If\u00a0zopiclone\u00a0is given during the last three months of pregnancy or labor, it may affect the newborn baby.\u00a0Symptoms of this include low body temperature (\u00a0hypothermia\u00a0), low\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0(\u00a0hypotonia\u00a0), decreased\u00a0muscle tone\u00a0(the muscle&#8217;s normal resting state of tension), very short or shallow breathing (\u00a0respiratory depression\u00a0), and a decreased suction reflex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Withdrawal symptoms may occur in newborns.&nbsp;This has been seen in children of mothers who used&nbsp;zopiclone&nbsp;for a long time during the last months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will only prescribe Zopiclone Stada after weighing the risks against the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breast-feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zopiclone Stada

not drive or operate machinery until your treatment has ended or it has been established that your ability is not impaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zopiclone Stada can cause&nbsp;side

impairment (&nbsp;amnesia&nbsp;)<\/li><li>impaired ability to concentrate<\/li><li>impaired muscle function.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of these effects increases with the simultaneous intake of
