I would say try Remeron which will most certainly help with your sleep, and should also help with depression, though I haven't noticed it improving my supposed depression nor my main symptom-anxiety-which may indicate I don't actually have depression. You see, Remeron is touted as one of the best anti-depressants. Be careful taking it the first night as it will knock you out like no other drug you've tried, I'm willing to bet. Despite many people claiming on this site that Seroquel knocks them out and eliminates their anxiety, I experienced neither. I took about 300 mg's of Seroquel when I was prescribed to take only 50 mg's and it didn't put me down.
Remeron, however, will put you down the first few nights at least. And the AD effect is supposed to kick in faster than other AD's at around 30-45 mg's.
