Brief Answer:
I don’t think Eszopicone will worsen insomnia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for using ask a doctor service
Eszopicone is a hypnotic drug belongs to Z drugs. The drug is a good drug for insomnia. In most cases this helps in sleep and doesn’t make insomnia worse.

IF your insomnia is persisting then you should talk
with your doctor to add some other drug or to increase the dose of drug. This could be due to worsening of symptoms and not due to Eszopicone.

Thanks
