I'm in the midst of a bit of a wee crisis at the moment. I'm already in services for various personality disorders and PTSD but also have PND and am very unhappy at the moment. Also not sleeping.
So yesterday I saw a couple of GPs and had an urgent assessment with the duty psychiatrist and was prescribed 7.5mg zopiclone for the insomnia and advised to increase my dose of sertraline from 150mg to 200mg. All fine.
I took a half dose of zopiclone last night because I was wary of being a zombie this morning with my baby to look after on my own. It was great, I slept on/off for about eleven hours and I don't feel too bad this morning, manageably drowsy but I'm in control (DH got up during the night with DS). But I've got the most revolting bitter taste in my mouth, and did so all night long. I know it's a common side-effect of zopiclone but does anyone have any tips for how to get rid of it? I necked a bottle of Fanta this morning to no avail brushing my teeth has no effect either.
