I am still having this problem unfortunately. No matter how tired I am, I can't seem to get my brain to shut off at night.
Are you taking the A/Ds in the morning or evening? I was put on Viibryd, I was taking it in the evenings and was totally wired for sound when trying to sleep at night. When I did finally go to sleep I would wake up every hour on the hour. Frustrating. So they gave me a benzo to help sleep. That worked, but dang, I would wake up groggy/ dizzy/ fuzzy-headed and it would take hours to go away. The doc told me it was the Viibryd, but it was the benzo. I moved the Viibryd to morning and quit taking the benzo and that did the trick. I have slept great ever since. The thing about A/D's is they put the most into your system right after you take them and then slowly ramp down the rest of the day. So if you take them in the morning, by evening they're at a low enough level to allow sleep. But take them in the evening and you're trying to sleep when they're maxed out.

Has anyone had good or bad experiences on Zoloft before??
My W has been on Zoloft over 10 years and swears by it. I had a rough time with the Viibryd for the first few weeks, but after that it got a lot better. It really got me past the rough spots. I've since tapered down to a really low dose.
