Antidepressants for Insomnia?

Hi! I've always had insomnia but the last few months it's so bad I really feel like going insane. I do all the things you're supposed to like eating healthy and working out almost every day. This has helped with my depressive thoughts and fatigue but the insomnia on the other hand keeps getting worse.

My question is: for those of you who take antidepressants how did it affect your sleep? Did it help with insomnia?

I am very scared to take any kind of medication because of the sideeffects .. but I just don’t know what else to do.
