FAQ
Which Hypnite strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Hypnite tablets come in 1mg, 2mg and 3mg strengths. Each strength is available in packs of 50, 100 or 150 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How discreet is Hypnite delivery to Hong Kong?
Hypnite orders ship in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside about the contents. Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking. Support answers 24/7 in English and Cantonese by live chat if you need help with tracking.
What is another name for eszopiclone?
Hypnite is a branded generic of eszopiclone. Eszopiclone is also sold as Lunesta. Here, eszopiclone can be bought online as Hypnite, and also as Fulnite. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does Hypnite take to work?
Sleepiness usually comes on soon after the tablet, which is why it is meant to be taken in bed rather than downstairs. If you stay up after taking it, you can end up dizzy, unsteady and seeing things that are not there. Over the first week or so, sleep itself should start to improve.
What is the difference between Hypnite and Fulnite?
Both contain eszopiclone and are used for the same sleep problem. Fulnite comes only as a 2mg tablet, while Hypnite is sold in 1mg, 2mg and 3mg, so it covers the lower and higher strengths as well.
Can I drink alcohol with Hypnite?
It is best not to. Alcohol adds to the drowsiness and poor coordination eszopiclone already causes, and the combination can leave you groggy and unsteady the next morning. Other sedating medicines, such as night-time antihistamines and opioid painkillers, have a similar additive effect.
Can I take a Hypnite if I wake in the middle of the night?
Only if you have at least 7 to 8 hours left to stay in bed. The tablet is meant for bedtime, or for when you are in bed and cannot fall asleep, and it keeps you sleepy for a while afterwards. Taking it too late in the night risks a foggy, unsteady morning.
Is Hypnite a benzodiazepine?
No. Eszopiclone is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic, part of the group of sleeping medicines known as Z-drugs. It acts on the same calming brain signal that benzodiazepines do, slowing brain activity so sleep can begin, but it is a different type of medicine with its own set of effects.
About Hypnite
What Hypnite is for
Hypnite is eszopiclone, a sleeping tablet for insomnia — trouble dropping off, staying asleep, or both. It is one of the non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, the group often called Z-drugs, and it works by slowing activity in the brain so that sleep can begin. Tablets come in 1mg, 2mg and 3mg and are swallowed whole.
Which strength to choose
Each strength changes only the amount of eszopiclone in the tablet: 1mg is the lowest, 3mg the highest. Packs hold 50, 100 or 150 tablets. The other eszopiclone product here is Fulnite, a 2mg tablet sold on its own, while Hypnite is the one that carries all three strengths. The eszopiclone ingredient page sets out the full range.
Getting to sleep with it
Take one tablet at bedtime, or once you are already in bed and cannot fall asleep. Have it within reach: you will feel very sleepy soon after swallowing it, and getting up again too soon can bring dizziness, lightheadedness, hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there) and trouble with coordination and memory. Only take it when you can stay in bed for at least 7 to 8 hours. A heavy, fatty meal close to bedtime can blunt its effect. Most people notice better sleep within 7 to 10 days.
Side effects to expect
Headache, dizziness, a dry mouth, a bitter or metallic taste and daytime drowsiness are the ones people notice most. Leave driving until you know how you feel the morning after a tablet. Alcohol multiplies the sleepiness and clumsiness, and other sedating medicines do the same.
Rarely, eszopiclone triggers complex sleep behaviours: people have got out of bed and driven, eaten, made calls or had sex while not properly awake, then remembered none of it. Stop taking it if that happens. Aggression, hallucinations, memory problems or a new low mood are also signs to stop.
After a longer stretch
Coming off eszopiclone after weeks of nightly use is usually done by lowering the dose over time rather than stopping dead. Sudden withdrawal can bring anxiety, unusual dreams, stomach and muscle cramps, nausea, sweating and shakiness. Sleep often feels worse for a night or two once you stop, then settles. Keep the tablets in their original pack, out of heat and light.
