Unhappy 129 days sober, miserable and exhausted

Is it supposed to be this way? Oh, and I take anti-depressants as well. My sleep is absolutely non-restorative, garbage sleep. I am going to see the doctor next week since the Trazodone he put me on did not work. The next medication to try is Remeron.

It's almost like I sleep but it's this light tossing and turning around and then I have to take klonopin to get ANY sort of sleep so I can go to work. I actually functioned better during my drinking days at work, oddly enough...but yeah hangovers. It's so frustrating, because I thought sobriety would bring positives but it's mainly been negative for me as whole since I do NOT sleep.

Maybe my chemicals are just super messed up and it takes a long time to level out. It's awful, though. I think I really messed my brain up (I drank from age 19 to 35 pretty heavily) if I'm this far into sobriety and I still can't sleep properly.
