I am one of those who experiences insomnia with anti-depressants. I am on an autopap. Zoloft was the absolute worst; now I am on Effexor and I have some nights that I'm awake until 4:00 a.m. and then the next night will sleep 6-8 hours, so I figure that's a step up from Zoloft.

Also took Lexapro at a time of high anxiety and it made me very nauseous; can't remember whether I was sleepless or not. I so wish I could go off anti-depressants, but I seem to have some hormonal imbalance or something and go haywire when off anti-depressants. I hate it.
