We present a case of a man aged 20 years who was diagnosed with a major depressive disorder and was started on escitalopram and zopiclone. The patient had a significant response to escitalopram except that he developed severe insomnia which dramatically resolved following discontinuation of zopiclone. The patient was recommenced on low dose of zopiclone and unfortunately redeveloped moderate insomnia. The patient was thoroughly investigated and zopiclone was determined to have paradoxically caused the insomnia.
