Amitryptylin, Mirtazipine
Paxel is the most sedating. It also causes the most weight gain.
This is a question that can be answered by an inquiry to google:

The *sedating antidepressants most* commonly used to help with sleep include Trazodone (Desyrel), Amitriptyline (Elavil), and Doxepin (Sinequan). It should be noted that when these medications are used for sleeping and pain relieving properties, it is in much lower doses than when used in the treatment of depression.

That said, it is wise to remember that everyone has a unique reaction to medication so that generalizations such as these need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Remeron is sedating and helps with insomnia, too.
