Summary

During the early treatment of a major depressive episode with amitryptiline, insomnia was treated in 81 patients in a double-blind comparative trial comparing zopiclone and flunitrazepam. The study showed no major differences in the efficacy profile and showed better tolerability for zopiclone than for flunitrazepam.
