i had found effexor to be completely ineffective for me, both in depression and insomnia.
sonata seemed to work decently for making me fall asleep, but i would wake up an hour or two into sleeping, and i'd be disoriented and sometimes hallucinating. i did not like sonata.
i think, for someone who needs to combine an antidepressant and a sleep aid, amitryptaline (elavil) is the best for relieving depressive problems as well as giving a very deep, very reliable night of sleep. my only problem with it is the possible toxicity that can be only slightly above baseline dose. and also, you might feel drowsy throughout the day.
