Trazodone or mirtazapine are sedating antidepressants that may help with sleep. For more information, please contact your mental health provider or, if you are in Texas, schedule an appointment with Mid Cities Psychiatry.

This really would depend on the patient, but in general Doxepin. Jack L. Underwood, M.D.
