Been on these since October tend to just have one if I've had an extremely bad night took one last night along with solpadol as my jaw has been sore for a few days. Woke up this morning feeling sick and dizzy any ideas why not had any problems apart from funny taste up to now.

Well solpadol contains codeine which likely has interacted with the zopiclone

Just googled the patient leaflet for zopiclone:
The following medicines may increase the sedating effect of Zopiclone tablets:

medicines to treat mental illness (antipsychotics)
medicines to treat depression
other sleeping pills
medicines to treat anxiety and other tranquillizers
narcotics (strong pain killers) e.g. <strong>codeine</strong>, morphine
medicines used to treat epilepsy
anaesthetics (used during surgery)
antihistamine medicines which cause sleepiness
medicines inhibiting liver enzymes e.g. cimetidine, allopurinol, propranolol. Ask your doctor or pharmacist which medicines have this effect.
erythromycin ( an antibiotic to treat infections).

If it doesn't wear off in a few hours ring your GP or NHS direct for some advice.
