Title: Eszopiclone for Sleep Disturbance and Nightmares in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to obtain data investigating the safety and efficacy of eszopiclone for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related sleep disturbance and the impact of improved sleep with eszopiclone treatment on neuroendocrine correlates of PTSD. The investigators hypothesize that eszopiclone will be significantly more effective than placebo and well tolerated for PTSD-related sleep disturbance, improvement in sleep will be associated with improvement in overall PTSD symptoms, and patients with PTSD-related sleep disturbances will have abnormal levels of stress hormones.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Outpatient, male and female 18 to 60 yrs old
* PTSD diagnostic according to DSM-IV criteria
* Patients who agree to receive diagnostic after SCID I application by a trained psychiatrist
* Sexually active female patients who agree to use contraceptive
* Patients who agree to sign the IRB approved informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients who have schizophrenic disorder, delusional, psychotic depression, schizo-affective, bipolar and dependence to psychoactive substance disorders
* Patients who have clinical disorders not compensated, which require clinical treatment as priority
* Pregnancy
* Previous renal calculosis history
* Being under antidepressant, or other psychotropic medications
* BMI under 20.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female outpatients 18-64 years of age with a primary diagnosis of PTSD as defined by DSM-IV criteria with associated sleep disturbance

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnant women, lactating women, and women of childbearing potential who are not using medically accepted forms of contraception.
* Concurrent use of other psychotropic medications, other than antidepressants at stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization
* Serious medical illness or instability
* Seizure disorders with the exception of a history of febrile seizures if they occurred during childhood
* Concurrent psychotherapy initiated within one month of randomization or ongoing psychotherapy of any duration directed specifically toward treatment of PTSD and/or sleep disturbance
* Diagnosis of schizophrenia, mental retardation, OCD, organic medical disorders or bipolar disorder, eating disorders in the past 6 months, alcohol or substance abuse in the past 3 months, or dependence within the past 6 months.
* Patients with significant suicidal ideation or who have enacted suicidal behaviors within 6 months prior to intake
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men or women, 21-55 years of age;
* Participants must have a level of understanding sufficient to agree to all tests and examinations required by the protocol and must sign a written informed consent document;
* Participants must fulfill DSM-IV criteria for current civilian or combat-related PTSD, based on clinical assessment by a study psychiatrist and on the CAPS (score must be at least 50 at screening and prior to each infusion - this is done to ensure at least moderate severity and to safeguard against high placebo response rates); additionally, clinicians will use clinical judgment to assess if patients are symptomatic enough to receive each infusion
* Women must be using a medically accepted reliable means of contraception (if using an oral contraceptive medication, they must also be using a barrier contraceptive) or not be of childbearing potential (i.e., surgically sterile, postmenopausal for at least one year);
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and pre-infusion;
* Participants must be able to identify a family member, physician, or friend (i.e. someone who knows them well) who will participate in a Treatment Contract (and e.g. contact the study physician on their behalf in case manic symptoms or suicidal thoughts develop).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Women who plan to become pregnant, are pregnant or are breast-feeding (because the medical risk of using ketamine during pregnancy and breast-feeding is unknown);
* Serious, unstable medical illnesses such as hepatic, renal, gastroenterologic, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrinologic, neurologic, immunologic, or hematologic disease (including gastro-esophageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, history of difficulty with airway management during previous anesthetics, ischemic heart disease and uncontrolled hypertension, and history of severe head injury);
* Clinically significant abnormal findings of laboratory parameters, physical examination, or ECG;
* Patients with uncorrected hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism;
* Hormonal treatment (e.g., estrogen) started in the 3 months prior to the first infusion day;
* Use of evidence-based individual psychotherapy (such as prolonged exposure) and other non-pharmacological treatments during the study;
* Histories of autism, mental retardation, pervasive developmental disorders, or Tourette's syndrome;
* History of one or more seizures without a clear and resolved etiology;
* History of (hypo)mania;
* Past or current presence of psychotic symptoms, or diagnosis of a lifetime psychotic disorder including schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder;
* Drug or alcohol abuse or dependence within the preceding 3 months (given that this might otherwise contribute to their symptoms, however, a rather narrow time period was chosen such as to allow participation by individuals with a history of substance abuse or dependence problems that could be secondary to their PTSD, and to more closely approximate patients seen in real-world settings);
* Previous recreational use of ketamine or PCP;
* Current diagnosis of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa;
* Diagnosis of schizotypal or antisocial personality disorder (since these are known to reduce the possibility of study completion; other Axis II diagnoses will be allowed);
* Patients judged clinically to be at serious and imminent suicidal or homicidal risk.
* A blood pressure of one reading over 160/90 or two separate readings over 140/90 at screen or baseline visits.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men or women, 18-65 years of age;
* Participants must have a level of understanding sufficient to agree to all tests and examinations required by the protocol and must sign a written informed consent document;

* Women must be using a medically accepted reliable means of contraception (if using an oral contraceptive medication, they must also be using a barrier contraceptive) or not be of childbearing potential (i.e., surgically sterile, postmenopausal for at least one year);
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and prior to each intravenous infusion;
* Participants must be able to identify a family member, physician, or friend (i.e. someone who knows them well) who will participate in a Treatment Contract (and e.g. contact the study physician on their behalf in case manic symptoms or suicidal thoughts develop).

* Clinically significant abnormal findings of laboratory parameters, physical examination, or ECG;
* Renal impairment, as reflected by a BUN \>20 mg/dL, and/or creatinin clearance of \>1.3 mg/dL;
* Thyroid impairment, as reflected by TSH\> 4.2 mU/L Patients with uncorrected hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism;
* Hormonal treatment (e.g., estrogen) started in the 3 months prior to the first infusion day;
