Use of Zopiclone in Veterans With PTSD

A Qualitative Investigation of Long-Term Zopiclone Use and Sleep Quality Among Vietnam War Veterans with PTSD(October) 08/27/09. Overall, the results of this study suggest that, although the subjects in the follow-up phase of the research continued to use zopiclone on a regular basis for an extended period, the efficacy of this intervention for addressing PTSD-related sleep disturbance was low. Extended treatment with zopiclone may not necessarily be associated with increased risk for dependence. Further robust research to examine the consequences of long-term zopiclone therapy for PTSD-related sleep disturbance is warranted. The Annals of Pharmacotherapy via PubMed
