Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for info. Sorry for delayed response.

Without consulting doctor taking such pills can be dangerous.

In depression antidepressant medicines from SSRI or SNRI group can be helpful.(E.g.Escitalopram,fluoxetine).

For Sleep disturbance benzodiazepine group of medicines like clonazepam or lorazepam can be helpful. Non benzo drug like zolpidem may help in mild cases.These drugs are strict prescription drugs and wont be available without doctor's prescription.

If your depression will improve your sleep will automatically improve.
Please consult psychiatrist for your problem evaluation and treatment and you can get suitable medicines prescription then.

Hope this answer is helpful.Feel free to ask if more queries.
