Imovane (zopiclone)
New Zealand Medical Journal 1988; 102:647

Abstract:

May & Baker do not make claims that Imovane is free from the potential to cause dependency but there is good evidence for a lack of drug craving and there is there is no withdrawal phenomenon on abrupt sessation of the medication. In recent months, May & Baker has sponsored lecture tours of New Zealand by two prominent sleep researchers.
