Summary
Research has established the incidence of insomnia increases with age and the possible causes
contributing to sleep problems in the elderly are still being explored and debated. Older
adults use a disproportionately large share of sleep aids with non-prescription sleep aid use
having increased over the past decade. This study is a double blind safety and effectiveness
trial examining the response of eszopiclone co-administered with escitalopram for the
treatment of insomnia symptoms in geriatric depressed adults with insomnia symptoms.
