Wanting to get on anti-depressants and/or anti-anxiety meds without jeopardizing my sleep

Hi all, I saw a list of common. antidepressant medications my doctor gave me and they all had the side effect of insomnia. I hard refuse to take a medication that might make my life even worse regarding sleep, the lack of which can be a huge cause of depression for me. But I still want to try and see if there is any hope with another kind of medication.

I know it’s anecdotal information I’m asking for but is there anything that has worked for any of you that hasn’t made sleep worse than it already is?

Thank you for any advice!
