I think a bzd for sleep is sometimes the way to go. More full body relaxation. Ativan, Restoril, maybe some good ole fashioned Valium. Some people use xanax, but I think that can lead to trouble, at least more so than other bzd drugs.
Have you tried Ritalin? Its still used for depression, especially in cases of physical problems leading to depression. The sides are, for me at least, better than an AD, and its easy to stop if you start having problems. Cancer treament *must* have been draining, so I would think that a stimulant might give you a quick lift. I have a relative on lamictal+relatively low-dose Adderall xr, and that combo works quite well. Just try to keep the dose low and go for an XR formulation if you can. Just my thoughts.
