I have never heard of this med so I googled it and from what I read you are NOT supposed to stop this drug abruptly.To avoid seizures and psychosis you need to taper off.The w/ds from stopping this drug c/t were compared to benzos and similar to alcohol.Which are 2 w/ds that can be very dangerous.I think it is in your sons best interest to consult his doctor ASAP about this and enlist his help in coming off of this drug safely.All the best...Kim

Kim is right.  Zopiclone binds unselectively to benzo receptors in a similar way to Xanax & other recognised benzos.  He needs to see a doctor.

The following is useful background info, if you would like to understand more about it:-
