Hi
Good evening
please start tablet sertraline 50 mg in morning for depression and tablet clonazepam 0.5 mg in night for sleep disturbance and reduce clonazepam if excessive sedation is there.
please consult any nearby psychiatrist before starting any medicine.
also you require counseling if you have any stressor.
Thank you.
