@Jailbirdstreet  each person reacts to drugs differently. You may find that the anti depressant may help you through a bad patch you are going through. You do not have to take them forever. Not all anti depressants are the same some are tolerated better than others.
If sleep continues to be a problem then maybe a short term solution of tablets to help your body cope is not such a bad idea. I did not like taking anti depressants but they helped me some time ago  in the past
