Extract

Preliminary studies suggest that the response to antidepressant medication can be accelerated by targeting insomnia with adjunctive use of eszopiclone. It is not yet known what mechanism(s) support this acceleration in response, though preliminary findings support the hypothesis that early restoration of sleep may facilitate BDNF-based effects of antidepressant medications. The optimal duration of co-treatment is also unknown. This study will test specific hypotheses about brain mechanisms and evaluate the effects of continued eszopiclone beyond the time window when response acceleration should be observed.
