Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In depression, you need antidepressant and antidepressants usually take time to show response. You can carry on with same drug and that would help you to control depressive symptoms. You can also try some benzodiazepine like clonazepam or zolpidem for sleep. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management plan and in case, you need further help, you can ask.
