Hi! There are some condition sleep disorder were antidepressant can help. In some conditions antidepressants may either induce or aggravate sleep disorders. This is the case with a number of psychostimulants that occasionally induce insomnia. On the other hand, the antidepressants may play a therapeutic role in certain sleep disorders: depression-related insomnia is of course the primary indication for antidepressants. So, in some cases antidepressant can help, this is case with you.
