I can relate with you on both major depression that is resistance to treatment and waking up in the middle of the night with difficulty falling back to sleep.

Have you ever tried Calm magnesium before going to bed?

Do you wake up to go to the bathroom?

Have you ever been tested for sleep apnea?

Do you recall dreaming right before waking up or do you notice a common theme of what may wake you up and why it is hard to fall back asleep? Do you start thinking of things when you wake up in the middle of the night? What have you tried to do to fall back asleep? Has anything helped?

Have you ever tried warm milk before bed or in the middle of the night? Have you tried taking tryptophan?

Do you play soft music or try meditation to help you relax to fall back asleep?

Im in the same boat regarding waking in thd middle of the night, although I don't take meds before sleep
However I take an antihistamine of the drowsy variety containing diphenhydramine ....hope thst might help....it generally gets me back to sleep in half an hour or so and lasts at least 3 hours.
