Check the side effects of your anti-depressant medication. For example, Zoloft "Side effects may include:
Abdominal pain, agitation, anxiety, constipation, decreased sex drive, diarrhea or loose stools, difficulty with ejaculation, dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, gas, headache, decreased appetite, increased sweating, indigestion, ***insomnia***, nausea, nervousness, pain, rash, sleepiness, sore throat, tingling or pins and needles, tremor, vision problems, vomiting. . ."

I can't remember what anti-depressant I was prescribed about four years ago, but I had insomnia like I'd never had before or since. Modern pharmaceuticals, while often wonderful, can also be unexpected mine fields of side effects. Only you and your doctor can sort this out. I now check the possible side effects of any medication the doctor prescribes. Good luck in your search for sleep.
