Can I take 10 and Zopiclone together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and zopiclone are 'central nervous system depressants'. This means they both slow down brain activity. When taken together, they 'double up' on this effect, making the sedative impact much stronger and more unpredictable than taking either one alone.

You must not drink any alcohol while you are taking zopiclone. Even a small amount of alcohol can dangerously increase the sedative effects of the medication. If you have consumed alcohol, do not take your dose of zopiclone that night. Additionally, remember that it is illegal to drive with any amount of cannabis in your system in the UK, and the same caution applies to any substance that impairs your coordination and reaction times.
